Relates to the penalty for unlawfully fleeing a uniformed police officer of the New York city taxi and limousine commission

This bill (S 7348) amends New York City's administrative code to establish penalties for drivers of taxi and limousine vehicles licensed by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) who flee TLC enforcement officers or police officers after being directed to stop. It specifically targets drivers who attempt to flee on foot or by moving their vehicle over 300 feet without stopping, or who engage in reckless driving, following a stop. Violators face a misdemeanor charge punishable by fines between $750 and $1,000, up to 90 days in jail, or both. The bill directly affects TLC-licensed taxi and limousine drivers who evade enforcement during stops.
