NYC L.L. 1986/002 In relation to unlawful discriminatory practices

L.L. 1986/002 Enactment date: 4/2/1986 Int. No. 2 By the President (Mr. Stein) (by request of the Mayor and the Comptroller): also Council Members Clark, Dryfoos, Eisland, Friedlander, Gerges, Greitzer, Harrison, Katzman, Maloney, Messinger, Michels, Pinkett, Robles, DiBrienza and Horwitz A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to unlawful discriminatory practices Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative declaration. The council reaffirms its finding and declaration articulated in the law establishing the city commission on human rights that in the city of New York, with its great cosmopolitan population consisting of large numbers of people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and ways of life, there is no greater danger to the well-being of the city and its inhabitants than the existence of groups prejudiced against one another and antagonistic to each other. It further reiterates the prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, and discrimination occasioned thereby threatens the rights and proper privileges of the city's inhabitants and menace the institutions and foundations of a free democratic state. The council notes that, throughout the history of the city, many New Yorkers have encountered prejudice on account of their sexual orientation. In some instances, the prejudice has impaired access to employment, housing, and other basic necessities of life leading to depravation and suffering. In addition, it has fostered a general climate of hostility and distrust, even to the point of physical violence against those perceived to be homosexual. The council hereby finds and declares that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation exists, that it unjustly threatens the well-being of thousands of New Yorkers, and that it should be prohibited in regard to employment, housing, land, commercial space and public accommodations. In doing so, the Council wishes to make clear that it is not the function of the civil rights statute to promote a particular group or community; its purpose is rather to ensure that individuals who live in our society will have the opportunity to pursue their own beliefs and conduct their lives as they see fit within the limits of the law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

No. 563-A By the Vice Chairman (Council Member Vallone) and Council Member Lisa and the President (Mr. Stein); also Council Members Ferrer, Foster, Harrison, Maloney, Povman, Robles, Dryfoos, DiBrienza, Alter, Gerges, Eisland and McCaffrey (Passed Under a message of necessity from the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to awarding city contracts to small business enterprises Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * Section 2. If any part or provision of this subchapter or the application thereof to any person or organization is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, such judgment shall not affect or impair any other part or provision or the application thereof to any other person or organization, but shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision, person or organization directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

NYC L.L. 1986/015 In relation to awarding city contracts to small business enterprises

L.L. 1986/015 Enactment date: 6/20/1986 Int. No. 564-A By Council Member O'Donovan (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Wooten, Spigner, Gerges, Williams, Castaneira-Colon, Ferrer and Pinkett A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to awarding city contracts to small business enterprises Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent. The council hereby finds and declares that small business enterprises, especially those which conduct business and provide employment with economically disadvantaged areas of the city, have generally provided a means for talented, innovative, diligent and dedicated individuals with limited financial backing to stimulate and contribute to the social and economic livelihood of themselves, their communities and their city. The council further finds that the costs of doing business in the city and the size of many contracts for goods and services awarded by the city have made it difficult for many small business enterprises to compete successfully for such contracts. The active encouragement of the development of small business enterprises benefits the- people of the city of New York by providing jobs, economic opportunities, and a more diverse and accessible marketplace, as well as an expanded tax base. The development of such enterprises also serves the public interest in that a greater number of enterprises will be able to compete for city contracts, and this increased competition should lead to lower costs to the city. This local law authorizes the establishment of a two year pilot program to promote the opportunity for small business enterprises to bid successfully for city contracts for goods and services, without reducing the safeguards of the competitive bidding process, or in any way authorizing increased expenditures for, or diminished quality of, goods and services provided to the city. Before the end of the two year period the mayor shall report to the council concerning the effectiveness of this program, in order that it may be determined whether the program shall be continued, modified or allowed to expire. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. Not later than one year prior to the date of expiration of this local law, the mayor or the mayor's designee shall submit a report to the council concerning the administration of the program established pursuant to this section. Such report shall evaluate the effectiveness of the program and shall include recommendations as to whether the program should be extended or modified. Such a report shall also be made six months prior to the expiration of this local law. § 5. If any provision of this local law or the application thereof is held invalid, the remainder of this local law and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such holding and shall remain in full force and effect. § 6. This local law shall take effect ninety days from the date it shall have become a law, and shall remain in effect for a period of twenty-four months thereafter. Actions necessary to prepare for the implementation of this local law may be taken prior to its effective date.

NYC L.L. 1986/022 In relation to extending the moratorium on the conversion, alteration or demolition of single room occupancy multiple dwellings and prohibiting withdrawal of …

L.L. 1986/022 Enactment date: 7/8/1986 Int. No. 12-A By Council Member Spigner (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Albanese, Berman, Dryfoos, Eisland, Foster, McCaffrey and Williams A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to extending the moratorium on the conversion, alteration or demolition of single room occupancy multiple dwellings and prohibiting withdrawal of single room occupancy dwelling units from the rental market during the moratorium Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Local law fifty-nine of nineteen hundred eighty-five provided for a moratorium on the conversion, alteration and demolition of single room occupancy multiple dwellings and for the preparation of a report on the best means of making available single room occupancy and other low cost housing for low income persons. The council finds that the serious public emergency declared in such local law continues to exist and that it is necessary to continue the moratorium beyond the expiration date established in such local law so that city agencies and the council will have sufficient time to consider the recommendations of the report and to adopt and implement a program through appropriate legislative and administrative action. The Council further finds that prior to and during the moratorium there has been widespread withdrawal of single room occupancy dwelling units from the rental market, which has further reduced an already inadequate supply of such units; that this practice has contributed to the increasing homeless population; and that in order to further the objectives of local law fifty-nine and to maintain the availability of single room occupancy dwelling units for low income persons during the serious public emergency declared in such local law, it is necessary and in the public interest to prevent owners from warehousing single room occupancy dwelling units during the moratorium. § 2. Section six of local law number fifty-nine of nineteen hundred eighty-five is amended to read as follows: § 6. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after January ninth, nineteen hundred eighty-five. Subdivisions a and c of section C26-118.10 of the administrative code, as added by section two of this local law, shall cease to have any force or effect and shall terminate [eighteen months after such effective date] on December thirty-first nineteen hundred eighty-six, unless terminated prior to such date by local law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 7. Subdivisions a and c of section 27-198.2 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by a chapter of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-six entitled "AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to making certain technical corrections, changes and conforming amendments made necessary by the recodification of such code and amendments by the state legislature and city council of the city of New York in the year nineteen hundred eighty-five and to repeal certain provisions of such code relating thereto and to amend chapter nine hundred seven of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-five, relating to the recodification of the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to allowing citation of the sections of the code by their former numbers", shall cease to have any force or effect and shall terminate on December thirty-first nineteen hundred eighty-six, unless terminated prior to such date by local law. § 8. If any provision of this local law or its application to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, the remainder of this local law and the applicability of its provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. § 9. This local law shall take effect immediately.

L.L. 1986/023 Enactment date: 7/8/1986 Int. No. 67 By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Ferrer and Leffler A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to extending the coverage and application of the real property transfer tax imposed by title II of chapter forty-six of such code to include transfers of economic interests in real property Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 9. If any item, clause, sentence, subparagraph, paragraph, subdivision, section or other part of this local law, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be held to be invalid, such holding shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this local law, or the sections of the administrative code of the city of New York amended by this local law, or the application of such section or part of a section held invalid to any other person or circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation to the item, clause, sentence, subparagraph, paragraph, subdivision, section or other part of this local law directly involved in such holding, or to the person and circumstances therein involved. § 10. This local law shall take effect immediately, and the amendments made hereby shall apply to conveyances or transfers made on or after the fifth day succeeding such effective date, provided, however, that such amendments shall not apply to any such conveyance or transfer made pursuant to a written contract entered into prior to July thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-one.

NYC L.L. 1986/024 In relation to requiring from owners of income-producing property income and expense statements for real property assessment purposes

L.L. 1986/024 Enactment date: 7/8/1986 Int. No. 605-A By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Messinger and O'Donovan (Passed under a message of necessity from the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring from owners of income-producing property income and expense statements for real property assessment purposes Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings. The council finds that in determining the assessed value of an income-producing property, the actual income and expenses of the property are a most important factor. At the present time, assessors rarely have these figures for the current period made available to them. If such information were to be made available sufficiently in advance of the making of assessments, the work of the assessor would be facilitated, assessments would be more accurate, the number of administrative and judicial review proceedings on objections would be lessened, the tax burden would be borne more fairly, and the amount of tax refunds would be substantially reduced. The council further finds that the newly enacted system of taxation contained in chapter ten hundred fifty-seven of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-five places like income-producing property in one class and all members of such class must share the tax burden of that class equally. However, owners of properties which are underassessed because assessors lack adequate income and expense data profit at the expense of other owners within the class. Full disclosure would provide for a more equitable sharing of tax obligations among class members. The council further finds that inequality is a major cause of complaint regarding tax assessments. Any data which will permit greater precision to the process of assessment will benefit both the taxing authority and the taxpayer. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect on the first day of August next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

No. 628 By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor) (Passed under a message of necessity from the Mayor) A Local Law in relation to the grace period for payment of the first installment of real estate taxes on certain parcels of real property for fiscal year nineteen hundred eighty-seven Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of subdivision f of section E17-24.0 of the administrative code of the city of New York or subdivision f of section 11-224 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as recodified by chapter nine hundred seven of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-five, if the installment of real estate tax on any parcel of real estate having a taxable assessed value of two hundred fifty thousand dollars or less which becomes due and payable on July first, nineteen hundred eighty-six, shall remain unpaid, in whole or in part, on July thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-six, the commissioner of finance shall charge, receive and collect interest thereon to be calculated from July first, nineteen hundred eighty-six to the date of payment at the rate and in the manner prescribed in section E17-24.0 or section 11-224 of such code. § 2.

L.L. 1986/026 Enactment date: 7/8/1986 Int. No. 629 By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor) (Passed under a message of necessity from the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to fees charged owners of buildings subject to the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen hundred seventy-four or the rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred sixty-nine Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section one. Legislative findings. In conjunction with the transfer to the state of New York of responsibility for the administration of rent stabilization, the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen hundred seventy-four was amended to require that the city of New York reimburse the state for its expenses incurred. The city of New York is in turn authorized to require by local law that owners of rent stabilized buildings pay a fee annually to the city so that the city may recoup its costs. By local law number ninety-five for the year nineteen hundred eighty-five, an annual fee of ten dollars for each registered unit was imposed on owners of rent stabilized buildings. However, commencing April first, nineteen hundred eighty-five, the date upon which the transfer of administrative responsibility to state became effective, the city has been obligated to reimburse the state at the annual rate of ten dollars for each registered unit. Local law number ninety-five imposed a fee on a prospective basis only. As a result, the city is foregoing reimbursement of nearly ten million dollars and owners of rent stabilized buildings will be benefitting by having one year of administrative costs borne entirely by the city. It is inequitable that one group of property owners benefit in this fashion at the expense of the taxpayers of the city, and the inequity becomes more pronounced in view of impending reduction in aid to the city from the federal government. For the reasons herein set forth the Council finds that it is appropriate that the imposition of the fee set forth in local law ninety-five be made retroactive to April first, nineteen hundred eighty-four. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 1986/058 In relation to the creation of a substance abuse task force

L.L. 1986/058 Enactment date: 11/24/1986 Int.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section one. Legislative findings. In 1978, after the State assumed direct responsibility for contract management, supervision and evaluation of all community-based drug-abuse programs, the city of New York dismantled its addiction services agency. Subsequently, drug and substance abuse programs became decentralized with many city agencies providing a plethora of overlapping substance abuse services. Moreover, despite the existence of several substance abuse services, the number of drug addicts within the city has increased by 50% since 1978 to 675,000. The recent influx of "crack" has heightened the need for controlling substance abuse. Drugs are destroying city communities, limiting the access of public facilities by city residents, reducing the city's housing stock and generally reducing the level of the quality of life. As the city is forced to devote more and more resources to the war against drug use and provide greater services to drug addicts, the need for coordination from a central body becomes evident. A task force, headed by the criminal justice coordinator will ensure that city agencies no longer provide a duplication of services and that financial resources are no longer unnecessarily drained. For these reasons, the council hereby declares that a permanent task force be established to foster greater cooperation between the various city agencies in the battle against drug use and in providing drug abuse services. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * Section three. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 1986/063 In relation to requiring from owners of income-producing property income and expense statements for real property assessment purposes

L.L. 1986/063 Enactment date: 12/8/1986 Int. No. 708 By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Maloney and Messinger A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring from owners of income-producing property income and expense statements for real property assessment purposes Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings. On October second, nineteen hundred eighty-six, a judgment was entered by a justice of the New York state supreme court which invalidated local law number twenty-four for the year nineteen hundred eighty-six, relating to requiring from owners of income producing property income and expense statements for real property assessment purposes, on the ground that the requirements for notice of public hearing prior to mayoral approval of the measure set forth in former section 38b-1.0 of the administrative code of the city of New York were not met. While the corporation counsel advises that the judgment invalidating local law number twenty-four for such year is before the appellate courts and that, in his view, the mayor properly approved local law number twenty-four for such year, the council has determined that to exercise utmost caution in order to protect the fiscal health of the city it is prudent at this time to re-enact the provisions of local law twenty-four for such year and local law forty-one for such year which made certain modifications to such local law number twenty-four so as to remove any uncertainty that may exist as to their status. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. The timely submission for the year nineteen hundred eighty-six of an income and expense statement to the commissioner of finance in accordance with local law number twenty-four for the year nineteen hundred eighty-six as enacted by the council shall be deemed as compliance with the provisions of this local law for the year nineteen hundred eighty-six. The commissioner of finance may use any income and expense statement submitted pursuant to local law number twenty-four for the year nineteen hundred eighty-six as so enacted including those submitted on forms prepared by the commissioner of finance in accordance with such local law for the purpose of fixing, diminishing or increasing the assessed value of real property to chapter fifty-eight of the New York city charter. § 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision a of section 11-208.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York as added by section two of this local law, any statement of income and expense required to be filed in the year nineteen hundred eighty-six pursuant to the provisions of this local shall be deemed timely filed if filed on or before the fifteenth day following the date of enactment of this local law. § 5. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. § 6. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to and deemed in full force and effect as of August first, nineteen hundred eighty-six.

NYC L.L. 1986/065 In relation to information required to be furnished to the commissioner of finance

L.L. 1986/065 Enactment date: 12/8/1986 Int. No. 709 By Council Member DeMarco (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Maloney and Messinger A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to information required to be furnished to the commissioner of finance Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section one. Declaration of legislative findings.

NYC L.L. 1986/076 In relation to the regulation of for-hire vehicles

L.L. 1986/076 Enactment date: 12/22/1986 Int. No. 699-A By Council Member Eisland (by request of the Mayor); also Council Member Leffler A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the regulation of for-hire vehicles Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent. The council recognizes the value of community-based service provided to the riding public by the city's for-hire vehicle industry including limousines and liveries. The council also recognizes its responsibility to the general public to provide for the safety of for-hire vehicles operating in the city. The council hereby finds that the public safety requires regulation to ensure that for-hire vehicles have adequate liability insurance coverage, are mechanically safe, are driven by responsible drivers and are in compliance with other standards of operation to be set forth by the taxi and limousine commission. Local legislation adopted by the council has given the taxi and limousine commission authority to regulate nonmedallion for-hire vehicles as well as medallion taxicabs. The council previously has denominated nonmedallion for-hire vehicles as "limousines". The council finds that recent court decisions considering the type of vehicles subject to licensing by the taxi and limousine commission as "limousines" have construed the term "limousine" more narrowly than had been the intent of the council. This local law corrects any ambiguity in the law. Rather than continue to apply the term "limousine" to a variety of for-hire vehicles which offer distinctive types of passenger service, the council hereby determines to use the term "for-hire vehicle" to encompass the separate categories of vehicles for hire subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the taxi and limousine commission and to define such term with specificity so that future uncertainty as to the council's intent will be eliminated. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 11. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of chapter five of title nineteen of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by this local law, a person holding, as of the effective date of this local law, a valid, unrevoked limousine license for the operation of a vehicle reclassified as a for-hire vehicle pursuant to subdivision g of section 19-502 of such code as amended by section two of this local law may continue to operate such for-hire vehicle or its replacement pursuant to such limousine license up to and including the expiration date of such limousine license. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of such chapter, title and code, as amended by this local law, a person holding, as of the effective date of this local law, a valid, unrevoked limousine-driver's license who operates any vehicles reclassified as for-hire vehicles pursuant to subdivision g of section 19-502 of such code as amended by section two of this local law may continue to operate any such vehicle pursuant to such limousine-driver's license up to and including the expiration date of such limousine-driver's license. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision b of section 19-504 of such code, the fee for each for-hire vehicle license issued on or after the effective date of this local law and which expires May thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven shall be one hundred twenty-five dollars or such lesser amount as the taxi and limousine commission may establish by regulation. § 12. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. § 13. Not later than the thirtieth day after the date of enactment of this local law the taxi and limousine commission shall submit a written report to the council on its plan for implementing the regulatory authority concerning the licensing, inspection, enforcement, adjudication of violations and administration over the various classes of for-hire vehicles, as provided in section 19-503.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York as added by section three of this local law. Not later than the sixtieth day after such date of enactment the commission shall submit a written report to the council on the status of the hiring of personnel and on other actions taken for the improved enforcement of the provisions of chapter five of title nineteen of such code with regard to all vehicles required to be licensed under such chapter and title. § 14. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its date of enactment, provided however that the taxi and limousine commission as of the date of enactment of this local law shall be authorized to promulgate any rule or regulation necessary for the administration of and to issue any license provided for in such local law.

Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The council finds that public service should not be limited to the wealthy or those with limited personal obligations; that elected officials should receive salaries sufficient to maintain a standard of living reasonably consistent with the status of the office and the city they represent; that salary levels of elected officials should be high enough to avoid limiting subordinate salaries to levels that prevent the city from attracting and retaining competent dedicated managerial and executive personnel; that to maintain salary levels consistent with these standards and to avoid the salary compression which precludes reasonable salaries for key subordinates throughout city government, it is necessary and in the public interest to provide for the periodic examination of the salaries of elected officials; that such examination should be conducted by an advisory commission composed of disinterested private citizens chosen for their expertise in these matters and that such commission should be empowered to recommend changes in compensation levels of elected officials where such changes are warranted. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 1986/081 In relation to city contracts with companies doing business in South Africa and Namibia

L.L. 1986/081 Enactment date: 12/30/1986 Int. No. 739-A By Council Member Katzman (by request of Mayor); also Council Members Dryfoos, Albanese, McCaffrey and Robles and the President (Mr. Stein) (Amended December 18, 1986) (Passed under a message of necessity from the Mayor) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to city contracts with companies doing business in South Africa and Namibia Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent and findings. The Council finds that apartheid is the most virulent form of racism inflicted by a government against its people since the Nazi era, and that it is incumbent on all levels of government to express opposition to this evil system. The Council reaffirms the declaration made in local law nineteen of nineteen hundred eighty-five that the legally enshrined policy of apartheid practiced by the government of the republic of South Africa is morally repugnant to the people of the city of New York, and that it is appropriate for the city to conduct its business in keeping with the city's long tradition of ensuring that public monies are expended consistently with moral standards and in a manner which promotes the public welfare. Local law nineteen requires the city's depository banks to certify that they do not market coins minted in South Africa or Namibia or provide loans to or underwrite securities for the South African government, requires city contractors to comply with federal law regulating exports to South Africa and Namibia, and provides for a certification by city contractors that they do not sell goods or services directly to the South African police, military, prison system, or the agency that enforces the pass laws and will not supply goods to the city that originated in South Africa or Namibia. The Council finds that these provisions and similar laws enacted by local governments throughout the country, together with divestiture actions taken by state and local governments and religious and educational institutions have been influential in increasing corporate sensitivity to the morally intolerable conditions in South Africa, leading companies to cease activities supportive of apartheid, and in a growing number of cases to withdraw their operations from that country. In the past year, despite worldwide condemnation of its racist policies, the South African government has continued to deprive non-white South Africans of basic human rights. It has responded with brutality to peaceful demonstrations, and banned participation in funerals and other religious observances. It has imposed a new set of repressive laws granting the government sweeping powers to close or take control of businesses, allowing arrest and detention of persons without charge or access to counsel, and providing for strict censorship of the press. In response to the worsening situation in South Africa and the plea for support from black South African leaders, nations throughout the world have imposed sanctions on South Africa, and many more state and local governments have adopted law regulating their own business with companies operating in South Africa and Namibia. Congress has overridden a presidential veto to adopt the comprehensive anti-apartheid act of nineteen hundred eighty-six. This new federal law represents an important development in American policy toward South Africa. In view of the developments in South Africa and the effectiveness of local law nineteen and the divestiture programs adopted by the city's pension funds, the council finds it appropriate to strengthen the provisions of local law nineteen applicable to city contracts with companies doing business in South Africa and Namibia as an expression of our moral concerns in the conduct of the city's business. The provisions of this local law will expand the certification by prospective city contractors established by local law nineteen of nineteen hundred eighty-five in two stages. In the first stage, the certification will state that, in addition to the apartheid enforcing agencies already covered by local law nineteen, the contractor agrees that it will not provide goods or services other than food and medical supplies to other agencies that assist the South African government in its enforcement of apartheid: the bureau for information, the ministry of law and order, the ministry of education and development aid, the ministry of justice, the ministry of constitutional development and planning, the ministry of manpower, the armaments development and production corporation, the national intelligence services, and the council for scientific and industrial research; or energy-producing agencies that help to make South Africa energy-independent and thus less susceptible to international pressure for change: the electricity supply commission (ESCOM), the Atomic Energy Corporation (Ltd), the Southern Oil Exploration Corporation (Soekor), and the South African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation (Sasol). This stage will take effect sixty days after the enactment of this local law. In the second stage, companies seeking to do business with the city of New York will be asked to certify that they do not do business in South Africa and Namibia. This stage will take effect one year after the effective date of the first stage. The council applauds the withdrawal of companies from South Africa but is nonetheless concerned that companies should not continue to supply their goods and services to the South African government through licensing agreements and other arrangements. The council is also concerned that goods and services provided to the city by companies that make the certification set forth in this local law should not be obtained from entities that do business in South Africa or Namibia in a manner that supports apartheid. The council will therefore study these problems to determine whether this law should be amended in the future. The council will also monitor whether progress is made by the South African government toward the release of political prisoners, the repeal of apartheid laws, the termination of the state of emergency, the lifting of banning orders against individuals and political parties, and the commencement of good faith negotiations with truly representative members of the black majority, and shall consider whether developments in South Africa and Namibia warrant any further modifications of the city's anti-apartheid law. Local law nineteen of nineteen hundred eighty-five expresses New Yorkers' deeply-felt abhorrence for apartheid and responds in a responsible manner that recognizes the city's long tradition of spending public monies consistent with moral standards and the need to obtain goods and services economically. Despite the careful way in which these interests have been balanced in local law nineteen, and despite congressional and presidential action restricting activities supportive of apartheid, the United States department of transportation, with the support of the United States department of justice, has taken the position that it will not approve federal funds for city contracts that contain the terms and conditions provided by local law nineteen on the grounds that they conflict with federal law and regulations. The position of the federal departments of transportation and justice on this issue is counterproductive to the policy of opposition to apartheid embodied in the recently enacted federal legislation and sends the wrong message to the South African government. The city has taken and will continue to take action to seek the reversal of that position, including the support of federal legislation that will recognize state and local anti-apartheid purchasing policies, and expressly allow the application of these policies in programs using federal funds. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 6. The provisions of subdivision a of section 6-115 of the administrative code as added by this local law shall not apply to actions taken or contracted to be taken by any person with respect to the agencies named in subparagraphs d through q of paragraph one of such subdivision prior to the effective date of such provisions. § 7. If any provision of this local law or the application thereof is held to be invalid, the remainder of this local law and the application thereof to other persons shall not be affected by such holding and shall remain in full force and effect. § 8. a. Sections one, four and seven of this local law shall take effect immediately. b. Sections two, three and six of this local law shall take effect sixty days after it shall have become law. c. Section five of this local law shall take effect one year after the effective date of sections two, three and six of this local law.
