Requires medallion owners to manage payments of the congestion surcharge
This bill amends the tax law regarding the congestion surcharge for certain vehicle trips. It shifts the primary responsibility for managing and paying this surcharge from vehicle dispatchers (like transportation network companies) to agents licensed by the taxi and limousine commission, when these agents are authorized by medallion owners. These authorized agents are then solely liable for making these payments and can make batch payments for multiple medallions they manage. The bill also details how these agents must withhold surcharges from daily collections, including provisions for cash trips and insufficient funds, and outlines their reporting responsibilities.
