S 4937 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires a system for notifying customers of bed bug infestations on MTA subways, trains and buses, within 24 hours of discovering such infestation

This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to notify subway, train, and bus customers within 24 hours if bed bugs are found on its vehicles or in stations. It mandates the MTA to establish a system for these notifications, which could include updates on its website, via email, or through text messages. The law directly affects MTA riders who may be exposed to bed bug infestations during transit. The key provision is the 24-hour notification timeline, replacing any current informal or delayed communication practices. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
