Disabled veteran street vendors in New York are legally exempt from municipal regulations on street vendors, under a 19th-century New York state law.〔Simon Akam. 2009, August 21. "(A Prominent Collection at the Met: Food Carts )". ''New York Times''.〕〔LaVan and Neidenberg, P.A. 2009, September 7. "(Disabled veterans benefit from loophole in New York City law )". ''Disability Law Claims Blog''.〕 As of 2004, there were 374 permitted disabled veteran street vendors, 60 of whom were permitted to operate inside Midtown Manhattan.〔Ian Urbina. 2004, February 28. "(For Some Vendors, Fears Over New Street Restrictions )". ''New York Times''.〕 ==History== In 1894, the New York Legislature granted physically disabled Civil War veterans exemptions from municipal laws limiting "hawking or peddling".〔Mitchell Duneier. 2004, January 4. "(Let New York's Veterans Vend )". ''New York Times''.〕 The original legislation covered all commercial streets and public parks in the state.〔Eric Pace. 1991, July 4. "(Mixed Reviews on 5th Ave. To Veterans' Peddling Curb )". ''New York Times''.〕 Numerous court decisions upheld the 1894 statute over municipal regulations of all sorts, including those that attempted to limit the products that vendors could sell to printed materials and food.〔 The legislation gained new meaning after World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War created a large pool of veterans unable to secure traditional employment as a result of their disability.〔 In 1990, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division held that the 1894 law preempted a 1979 city ordinance banning street vendors from 30th to 61st Streets, between Second and Ninth Avenues, except on Sundays.〔Felicia R. Lee. 1990, December 20. "(5th Avenue Merchants Want a Ban on Vendors )". ''New York Times''.〕 In 1991, the legislation's effect was restricted in Midtown Manhattan, limiting the total number of vendors allowed, and placing some congested Avenues and sidewalks off limits.〔 That legislation expired in 2003.〔 Legislation has been introduced in the New York Senate to make impersonation of such a vendor a Class A misdemeanor.〔"(Bill S1956: Provides that impersonation of a disabled veteran vendor is a class A misdemeanor )".〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disabled veteran street vendors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
