Establishes rules for operating time-delay egress mechanisms on emergency exit gates at subway stations.

The bill amends the public authorities law to set rules for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on operating time-delay egress mechanisms on emergency exit gates at subway stations. It allows the MTA to use these mechanisms only when personnel are present or during temporary interruptions. If personnel are temporarily unavailable, the mechanisms can operate for up to two hours before being deactivated. The bill specifies that these rules apply only to emergency exit gates and not to fare control gates.
