§ 39-19 Hearings by Website and Virtual but Contemporaneous Videographic Adjudication Methods.
RCNY § 39-19
(a)The Director may determine certain classes of alleged violations as appropriate for adjudication electronically through the Department of Finance website or using of virtual but contemporaneous videographic means through the Department of Finance website or another website designated by the Department of Finance and may prescribe procedures for such adjudication.
(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, the Director may establish a virtual hearing pilot program, whereby the Director designates a certain number or percentage of summonses as eligible to be adjudicated through virtual but contemporaneous videographic adjudication methods in order to test the efficacy of such methods. The Director may further limit such pilot program to summonses that are adjudicated in one or more special purpose hearing parts or other programs operated by PVB. Upon a written determination by the Director, such pilot program will terminate, and the Director shall determine whether and how to conduct virtual but contemporaneous videographic adjudication methods in accordance with the procedures set forth in 19 RCNY § 39-08(b)(3).
