 Introduced by Sen. HOYLMAN-SIGAL -- read twice and ordered printed, and

 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to establishing
 a parking placard review board

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The Metropolitan Transportation
 2 Sustainability Advisory Workgroup issued a report in 2018, which recom-
 3 mended ending placard abuse as a way to reduce congestion. The legisla-
 4 ture hereby finds and declares that the issuance of vehicle placards
 5 encourages commuting by private vehicles and has led to congestion in
 6 the New York metropolitan area, consisting of the counties of New York,
 7 Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and Rock-
 8 land. The New York metropolitan area is designated a nonattainment area
 9 for failure to meet environmental protection agency (EPA) national ambi-
 10 ent air quality standards.
 11 Further, the EPA has indicated that the transportation sector of the
 12 New York metropolitan area is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas
 13 emissions in the United States, accounting for 28% of emissions, with
 14 light duty vehicles, such as personal cars and trucks, making up 59% of
 15 those transportation sector emissions.
 16 A reduction in motor vehicle traffic and congestion, particularly
 17 commuter traffic into and out of Manhattan, is necessary to reduce these
 18 emissions and improve air quality for the entire New York metropolitan
 19 area.
 20 § 2. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new article
 21 10-E to read as follows:
 22 ARTICLE 10-E
 23 PARKING PLACARD REVIEW BOARD
 24 Section 3985. Parking placard review board.
 25 § 3985. Parking placard review board. 1. There is hereby created the
 26 "parking placard review board", hereinafter referred to as the "board",
 27 which shall consist of a chair and fifteen members appointed by the
 28 governor as follows: two members upon appointment by the governor, one
