By defining "reasonable compensation" and outlining dispute resolution steps, the bill aims to ensure dealers are not underpaid for services performed under manufacturer warranties.
Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the City of New York to stop using specific parklands in the Bronx as public parks to make way for the Metro-North railroad. The legislation allows the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to grant easements on this land so they can build new stations and improve access to the Penn Station Access project.
