A 11060: Requires digital parking payment applications to provide notice of applicable parking restrictions

This bill requires digital parking payment apps to clearly show users the parking rules for their specific location before they pay. It mandates that these applications display details like time limits, meter hours, and street cleaning schedules in a distinct text color to prevent confusion. The law also ensures that app providers must regularly update this information and warn users that fines may still apply if they ignore the displayed restrictions. Municipalities and parking authorities will need to supply accurate data to these apps, while contractors can avoid penalties if they relied on the official data provided by the city.

A 867: Includes certain use of Bluetooth technology to follow a person in the crime of stalking in the fourth degree

This bill amends New York's stalking law to explicitly include unauthorized Bluetooth tracking as a form of "following" in the crime of stalking in the fourth degree. It directly affects individuals who use Bluetooth technology to secretly track another person's location without permission. The key change adds Bluetooth (along with GPS) to the legal definition of "following," making such unauthorized tracking a punishable offense under existing stalking statutes. Stalking in the fourth degree remains a class B misdemeanor under this updated law.
