Senator Seward Announces Limo Legislation Following Deadly 2018 Crash
State Senator James Seward announced Senate approval of legislation to increase safety for limousine passengers. Listen below...
The comprehensive package of bills is a direct result of the October 2018 limousine crash in the Town of Schoharie, which claimed 20 lives. The measures will ensure drivers undergo drug and alcohol testing, create a state hotline for the public to report safety concerns, and allow the commissioner of the Department of Transportation to immobilize or impound a limousine with certain defects.
