2006 New York Code - Regulation Of Pilots And Persons Employing Them.

 
    § 95. Regulation of pilots and persons employing them. 1. The board of
  commissioners may alter or amend any existing regulation for pilots, and
  make,  duly  promulgate  and  enforce  new  rules  or  regulations,  not
  inconsistent with the laws of this state or of the United States,  which
  shall  be  binding  and  effective  upon  all pilots licensed under this
  article, and upon all parties employing such pilots.  The  commissioners
  may  also  regulate  the  stationing  of  pilot boats for the purpose of
  putting pilots aboard and taking of them off vessels bound to  and  from
  the  port  of New York and may designate the areas in which such vessels
  shall be boarded and left by such pilots. Such commissioners may declare
  and enforce forfeitures of pilotage upon any mismanagement or neglect of
  duty by the pilots licensed by them. Such  commissioners,  in  order  to
  prevent  any  of  the pilots licensed by them from combining injuriously
  with each other, or with  other  persons,  and  to  prevent  any  person
  licensed  by them from acting as a pilot during his suspension, or after
  his license has been revoked, may declare, impose and collect fines  and
  penalties not exceeding two hundred fifty dollars for each such offense.
  The commissioners may also establish and enforce all other needful rules
  and  regulations for the conduct of the pilots licensed by them, and the
  parties employing them.  Such  commissioners  may  enforce  and  receive
  accounts  of all moneys collected for pilotage by the pilots licensed by
  them and may impose and collect from such pilots  a  sum  not  exceeding
  three  per  centum  on  the  amount  thereof  to  defray their necessary
  expenses, including clerk hire and office rent.
