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
Section 12-126 of the Administrative Code extends health insurance to the families of certain City workers who die in-the-line-of-duty. The Council routinely amends this section to add workers not automatically covered by other sections (mostly uniformed services), who are killed in-the-line-of-duty. At present, the law only covers children up to age 22. This law increases the age for children to be covered to 27, which conforms this law to the Federal Affordable Care Act.

Title
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to amending reporting requirements and agency goals related to participation of minority and women owned business enterprises in procurements
Summary
Under local law, prior to soliciting bids or proposals for contracts valued at over ten million dollars (other than contracts for capital projects valued at over twenty-five million dollars and certain contracts that are otherwise exempt), agencies must submit the bid or proposal to the city’s chief procurement officer for a determination whether it is practicable to divide the proposed contract into smaller contracts and whether doing so would enhance competition for such contracts among minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), women-owned business enterprises (WBEs) and emerging business enterprises (EBEs), and other potential bidders or proposers. Currently, SBS and MOCS submit within their annual M/WBE report a list of all solicitations sent to the city chief procurement officer for review, and a summary of the determination made whether to divide the proposed contract. This bill would require more detailed information about how this determination was made.

Additionally, the bill would change the dates by which each agency must submit their M/WBE utilization plan (from April 1 to July 31), anticipated contracting schedule (from July 31 to June 30), and performance improvement plan (in cases where the agency failed to achieve its utilization goals) (from October 1 to January 31). Finally, the bill would remove dollar limitations on the purchases of goods for which agencies have to submit an MWBE utilization plan.
