Section 837-I. Uniform parking ticket

1. The commissioner, in cooperation
  with the commissioner of  the  department  of  motor  vehicles,  and  in
  consultation  with  the  chief  executive  officers  of  cities  with  a
  population in excess of one hundred thousand persons  according  to  the
  nineteen  hundred  eighty  United States census shall prescribe the form
  and content of uniform parking tickets for  such  cities  in  all  cases
  involving  a  parking,  standing  or  stopping  violation  as defined in
  accordance with the vehicle and traffic law, hereinafter referred to  as
  parking  violations,  or of any local law, ordinance, rule or regulation
  adopted pursuant to the vehicle and  traffic  law  relating  to  parking
  violations.  Upon  written application of the chief executive officer of
  any  such  city,  the  commissioner,   after   consultation   with   the
  commissioner  of the department of motor vehicles, may authorize the use
  of a parking ticket other than the  uniform  parking  ticket  prescribed
  pursuant  to this section if he or she determines that use of such other
  parking ticket is not inconsistent  with,  and  will  not  diminish  the
  effectiveness  of,  the  parking  violations enforcement and disposition
  program established pursuant to section eight hundred thirty-seven-j  of
  this chapter, and may also authorize for a specified time period the use
  of  a  parking  ticket  which  was  used  by  such city on or before the
  effective date of this section.
    2. The commissioner in consultation with the chief executive  officers
  of  cities  with  a population in excess of one hundred thousand persons
  according to the nineteen hundred  eighty  United  States  census  shall
  establish a system to record and monitor the issuance and disposition of
  parking  tickets,  to  monitor the collection of the mandatory surcharge
  required by section eighteen hundred nine-a of the vehicle  and  traffic
  law  and  to receive information from cities for this purpose. Each such
  city shall report on such parking violations on a monthly basis  in  the
  form  and  manner  prescribed  by  the  commissioner  including, but not
  limited to, the parking tickets issued, the dispositions of such tickets
  and the amount of fines, penalties and mandatory  surcharges  collected.
  The commissioner shall collect, process and analyze such information and
  present  periodic  reports  on  the  parking  violations enforcement and
  disposition program.
    3. The commissioner shall have the power from time to  time  to  adopt
  such  rules  and  regulations  as  may  be  necessary  to accomplish the
  purposes of this section.
