Nassau and Suffolk counties are banning nonessential vehicles from traveling beginning at 9 p.m. tonight and lasting through 9 a.m. on Monday morning.
Essential vehicles include plow operators, others operated by critically needed municipal workers, and hospital personnel.
'It's personal to me' The law would require businesses to have proper state licensing, prove that their employees are paid and ban staff from living at the spas or sleeping there overnight. Repeat offenders could face penalties up to $25,000. NewsdayTV's Shari Einhorn has more.
