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 Long-Term Planning and Sustainability (OLTPS) to develop climate resiliency design guidelines, pursuant to a pilot program, for City capital projects. OLTPS, in consultation with other City agencies, environmental justice organizations with expertise in climate resiliency, and members of the public with expertise in climate resiliency, climate design, the built environment, engineering, and environmental justice issues, would also use the climate resiliency design guidelines to develop a climate resiliency score metric for capital projects.

Every City capital project above a threshold construction cost would be evaluated for its resiliency and have to meet or exceed a minimum resiliency score.

A Local Law in relation to requiring the department of education to report on metrics regarding remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic
Summary
This bill would require the Department of Education (DOE) to report on a series of metrics whenever it is engaged in remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those metrics would include language access and support provided for English language learners; steps DOE took to ensure incarcerated students received remote instruction; and details on internet enabled devices ordered by the DOE and distributed to students. The term “remote learning” means a system, implemented in lieu of in-person instruction during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that allows teachers to deliver their lessons online, and students to complete assignments, projects, and assessments remotely just as they would in the physical classroom. Remote learning can occur synchronously with real-time teacher-to-student interaction and collaboration, or asynchronously, with self-paced learning activities that take place independently of the teacher.

Summary
This bill would require the City of New York to establish a fund providing loans, grants, in-kind services, in-kind materials or some combination, to make small business storefronts accessible to people with disabilities. Small businesses of 100 employees or fewer and three locations or fewer would be eligible for the fund. The fund would award up to $250,000 in total value per storefront, and loans issued through the program would have an interest rate of no more than three percent. The City would be responsible for establishing a timeline of 90 days or less for the review of applications, issuing an approval or rejection of the application, and a disbursement of the fund, as applicable. Small business tenants or property owners who would bear the cost of the construction project would receive the fund award, but both parties must agree to receive it, unless a prior agreement states otherwise. As a condition of receiving the fund, the City may require that the storefront’s tenant be given a reduction in rent that equals a total of half the value of money, services and materials received through the fund.

As part of the building electrification study this local law would consider regulatory barriers to building electrification; lack of both customer awareness and workforce familiarity with electrification, costs for property owners, time frames for electrification consistent with state and local greenhouse gas reduction goals and an assessment of the renewable energy sources that would be needed to meet any increase in demand caused by the electrification of existing buildings. The study shall also consider equity and access to inclusive financing for property owners as well as tenant protection from property rental increases.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the prohibition against discrimination in housing accommodations based on lawful source of income
Summary
Prohibitions against discrimination in housing accommodations based on lawful source of income currently do not apply to housing accommodations comprised of five or fewer units.

Summary
The proposed bill would require the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DOITT), in consultation with the Department of Education (DOE) to purchase and distribute mobile hotspot devices to all NYC public school students. The COVID-19 pandemic and the introduction of remote learning shined a light on the inequity of all students’ ability to connect to the internet at home to facilitate their remote learning. This bill would ensure all students can continue to receive the free public education they are entitled to under the law even when physical school buildings are closed for any part of the academic year.
