City Council Legislation: Bills and Local Laws

This dataset contains information on New York City bills from 1998 through 2024.

The New York City Council is the City’s legislative body, responsible for proposing, debating, and voting on legislation that affects all aspects of city governance. The legislative process for Introductions in NYC follows these steps:

Bill Introduced – A bill is introduced by a Council Member and assigned a number.

Committee Hearings – The bill is referred to a committee for review, where public hearings may be held for discussion, public comment, and stakeholder engagement.

Committee Vote – The committee votes on whether to advance the bill to the full Council.

Full Council Vote – If approved by the committee, the bill is voted on by the entire Council. A majority vote is required for passage.

Mayoral Action – Once passed by the Council, the bill is sent to the Mayor, who may sign it into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature. If vetoed, the Council can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.

Enactment – Once signed or passed via override, the bill is assigned a local law number and becomes part of the city’s legal code. Bills may be enacted immediately, or upon a date defined in the bill.

This dataset provides information on all introductions, regardless of whether they were enacted.

Summary
This bill would require the office of the language services coordinator to designate neighborhood tabulation areas where 37 percent or more of residents are limited English proficient (LEP) as Priority Language Access Service Areas, and to monitor and report on the provision of simultaneous language services by city agencies in such areas. The bill requires city agencies conducting public presentations in or targeting residents of such areas to translate advertising for the presentation and to provide simultaneous language services at the presentation in the top non-English language. If the second most commonly spoken language is represented by ten or more percent of LEP residents of such area, then the city agency, resources permitting, shall seek to make the public presentation accessible in that language as well. Finally, resources permitting, the bill members of the public would be able to request simultaneous language services in languages other than those being provided.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to increasing the maximum qualifying income for the senior citizen homeowner’s exemption and the disabled homeowner’s exemption
Summary
New York City provides a real property tax exemption to low-income senior citizen homeowners called the Senior Citizen Homeowner Exemption (SCHE) and to low-income disabled homeowners called the Disabled Homeowner Exemption (DHE). The exemptions function by exempting a percentage of the assessed value (between five and 50 percent) of qualifying real property from taxation on a sliding scale based on income. Currently, in order to be eligible for either exemption, the combined income of the property owners must be less than $37,400.

On July 25, 2017, the State enacted legislation authorizing the City to increase the eligible income threshold for both SCHE and DHE to $58,400.

Title
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to curtailing solicitation of passengers by certain for-hire vehicles
Summary
This bill would prohibit any person from advertising or holding oneself out as being affiliated with a base station or dispatch service provider (“DSP”) unless: (1) such person holds a valid Taxi and Limousine Commission (“TLC”) universal driver’s license; (2) such person operates a TLC-licensed for-hire vehicle (“FHV”); and (3) the base station or DSP is authorized to dispatch the FHV. This bill also prohibits any person who operates a FHV from soliciting or accepting a passenger who has engaged a FHV on the basis of telephone contract or prearrangement, unless a base station or DSP has dispatched such person’s FHV to pick up such passenger and such prearrangement is evidenced by records. Civil penalties for violations of both prohibitions are provided. Further, the bill modifies the two-year period for moving to vacate a default decision by OATH. The bill also clarifies and strengthens provisions related to illegally operating non-TLC licensed vehicles for hire.

Title
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the prohibition of requiring low-wage workers to enter into covenants not to compete and also to require employers to notify potential employees of any requirement to enter into a covenant not to compete
Summary
Employers are increasingly requiring their employees to sign non-compete agreements as a condition of employment, even in low-wage jobs where such provisions do not serve an obvious purpose. These covenants can lead to low-wage employees being unreasonably restricted in finding new jobs. This bill would prohibit employers from requiring low-wage employees to enter into covenants not to compete as a condition of their employment.

Title
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the provision of sick time earned by employees
Summary
This bill would add a right to file a private civil action to the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA), which allows most private employees in New York City to earn paid sick time from their employers. Under the current law, employees who are denied their rights under the ESTA are limited to filing a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs. This bill would allow such employees to also file a case with any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce their rights.
