in effect

NYC L.L. 2002/001 In relation to the publication and distribution of materials detailing public health insurance options

L.L. 2002/001 Enactment date: 4/2/2002 Int. No. 13-A By Council Members Moskowitz, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Quinn, Katz, Liu, Reed, Rivera, Brewer, Clarke, Sears, Stewart, Vann, Reyna, Weprin, Gioia and Oddo; also Council Member Comrie A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the New York city charter, in relation to the publication and distribution of materials detailing public health insurance options. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Despite the availability of public health insurance programs such as Medicaid, Child Health Plus and Family Health Plus, recent estimates suggest that close to one million low-income New Yorkers eligible to be insured under such programs remain uninsured. The Council finds that, in addition to compromising the health and well-being of uninsured individuals, lack of health insurance coverage frequently results in the unwarranted use of emergency room services, particularly in the City's public hospital system. This use of emergency rooms as a locus of essentially "primary care" services produces inflated costs for those services that are rendered – costs that are ultimately borne by taxpayers and the unnecessary use of charity pools. Therefore, in an effort to ensure the health and well-being of New Yorkers, as well as an attempt to advance a more efficient and appropriate use of resources, it is the intention of the Council to ensure that all New Yorkers eligible to receive public health insurance coverage do in fact receive such coverage. To this end, the Council is requiring that the Department of Public Health publish and that certain City agencies distribute a pamphlet describing public health insurance options. The publication and distribution of this pamphlet will help inform uninsured New Yorkers that they may be eligible for public health insurance and will facilitate their access to such coverage. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or other portion of this local law is, for any reason, declared unconstitutional or invalid, in whole or in part, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed severable, and such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this local law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 5. Effective date. This local law shall take effect one hundred and eighty days after its enactment; provided, however, that section three of this local law shall have no further force or effect and shall be deemed repealed on October 1, 2005. Actions necessary to prepare for the implementation of this local law may be taken prior to its effective date.

NYC L.L. 2002/003 In relation to gender-based discrimination

L.L. 2002/003 Enactment date: 4/30/2002 Int. No. 24 By Council Members Perkins, Lopez, Quinn, Reed, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Moskowitz, Rodriguez, Boyland, Avella, Davis, DeBlasio, Gennaro, Gerson, Katz, Koppell, Liu, McMahon, Monserrate, Rivera, Sears, Weprin, Brewer, Barron, Serrano and Stewart; also Council Members Addabbo Jr., Martinez, Yassky, Clarke, Baez and Recchia A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to gender-based discrimination. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The City Council finds and declares that it is in the interest of the City of New York to protect its citizens from discrimination. Discrimination, prejudice, intolerance and bigotry directly and profoundly threaten the rights and freedom of New Yorkers. The City Council established the Human Rights Law to protect its inhabitants from these dangers. Included in the City's Human Rights Law is a prohibition of discrimination against individuals based on gender. The scope of this gender-based protection, however, requires clarification. This local law is intended to make clear that all gender-based discrimination - including, but not limited to, discrimination based on an individual's actual or perceived sex, and discrimination based on an individual's gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior, or expression - constitutes a violation of the City's Human Rights Law. Gender-based discrimination effects a broad range of individuals. But the impact of gender-based discrimination is especially debilitating for those whose gender self-image and presentation do not fully accord with the legal sex assigned to them at birth. For those individuals, gender-based discrimination often leads to pariah status including the loss of a job, the loss of an apartment, and the refusal of service in public accommodations such as restaurants or stores. The impact of such discrimination can be especially devastating for those who endure other prejudices due to their race, ethnicity, national origin, or citizenship status, in addition to gender-based discrimination. In adopting this legislation, the City Council declares that the ability of all New Yorkers to work and to live free from invidious discrimination based on gender is the guiding principle of public policy and law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2002/023 In relation to newsracks

L.L. 2002/023 Enactment date: 8/27/2002 Int. No. 14-B By Council Members Moskowitz and Gallagher; also Council Members Comrie, Sanders, Jr. and Golden A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to newsracks. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the unregulated placement and maintenance of newsracks on the City's sidewalks present an inconvenience and danger to the safety and welfare of persons using such sidewalks, including pedestrians, persons entering and leaving vehicles and buildings, and persons performing essential utility, traffic control and emergency services. Further, the proliferation of unregulated newsracks has a deleterious impact on the appearance of such sidewalks and the City in general. The Council recognizes, however, that the dissemination of newspapers and other written matter is in the public interest, and that any governmental action with respect to such dissemination must be consistent with the protection accorded a free press by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. To accommodate these interests in a complementary and mutually advantageous manner, the Council adopts this local law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a newsrack placed or installed on any sidewalk as of the effective date of this local law may continue to remain in such location until sixty days after the effective date of this local law. Thereafter, any such newsrack may remain in such location only if such newsrack is in compliance with the provisions of this local law. § 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, no person shall be subject to the imposition of criminal liability for any violation of section 19-128.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York as added by section two of this local law. § 5. This local law shall take effect one hundred and eighty days after its enactment into law, except that the commissioner of transportation shall be authorized to take such administrative actions deemed necessary to effectuate the provisions of this local law prior to its effective date.

NYC L.L. 2002/024 In relation to the recognition of marriages that are not recognized by the state of New York, domestic partnerships, and civil unions, lawfully entered into in …

L.L. 2002/024 Enactment date: 8/27/2002 Int. No. 114-A By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Quinn, Baez, Brewer, Clarke, DeBlasio, Gerson, Jackson, Martinez, Moskowitz, Perkins, Reed, Rivera, Serrano, Yassky, Boyland and Lopez; also Council Member Koppell A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the recognition of marriages that are not recognized by the state of New York, domestic partnerships, and civil unions, lawfully entered into in other jurisdictions. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent and findings. Same sex couples have faced many obstacles to full legal recognition of their relationships. The Defense of Marriage Act, Pub. L. No. 104-199, 110 Stat. 2419 (1996) defines marriage for purposes of federal law as the union of a man and woman and empowers states to deny recognition to same sex marriages entered into in other jurisdictions. Unlike the majority of states nationwide, New York State has not enacted legislation denying recognition to same sex marriages. However, the Domestic Relations Law, which governs marriage, does not explicitly recognize same sex marriage or authorize issuance of marriage licenses to same sex couples. In practice in New York State, same sex couples have not been able to obtain marriage licenses and, as a result, have not been able to legally marry. In 1998, the Council passed the New York City Domestic Partnership Law, which codified prior Mayoral Executive Orders establishing rights and entitlements for City residents who register their domestic partnerships with the City Clerk. The Council now intends to extend New York City's commitment to recognizing rights of same sex partners by revising the definition of "domestic partners" in the administrative code to include persons who have lawfully registered domestic partnerships or entered civil unions or marriages not explicitly recognized by New York State in other jurisdictions, ensuring that such couples enjoy all rights and benefits currently available to domestic partners registered under New York City law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2002/025 In relation to the Chinatown/Lower East Side empire zone

L.L. 2002/025 Enactment date: 8/27/2002 Int. No. 247 By Council Members Sanders, Comrie, Gerson, Jackson, Liu, Yassky and Golden (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Quinn and Gioia A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the Chinatown/Lower East Side empire zone. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislation findings and intent. Section 961 of the general municipal law provides that a city may adopt a local law authorizing the submission of an application to the New York state commissioner of economic development for designation of an area within the city as an empire zone. Such designation could greatly benefit the city of New York in that new businesses would be encouraged to locate in the zone, existing businesses would be encouraged to expand in the zone, and new and expanded businesses would generate new jobs for city residents. § 2. The city of New York is authorized to submit an application to the New York state commissioner of economic development for designation of an area within the city of New York as an empire zone. § 3. The boundaries of such area are set forth in section four of this local law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law shall take effect immediately.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 9. This local law shall take effect immediately, provided however, that any mercantile establishment existing on the date of enactment that lacks a system of automatic sprinklers required by this local law shall not be deemed to be in violation of the requirements of this local law if it is brought into compliance with such requirements on or before April thirtieth, two thousand four.

NYC L.L. 2002/027 In relation to qualifications for the office of Council Member

L.L. 2002/027 Enactment date: 9/25/2002 Int. No. 238 By Council Members Comrie, Oddo, Addabbo, Avella, Baez, Boyland, Brewer, Clarke, Davis, DeBlasio, Diaz, Dilan, Felder, Fidler, Gennaro, Gerson, Gioia, Jackson, Jennings, Katz, Lanza, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, McMahon, Monserrate, Moskowitz, Nelson, Provenzano, Quinn, Recchia, Reed, Reyna, Sanders, Seabrook, Sears, Serrano, Stewart, Vallone, Vann, Weprin, Yassky, Perkins, Rivera and the Speaker (Council Member Miller). A Local Law to amend the New York City Charter, in relation to qualifications for the office of Council Member. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Purpose and Intent. This legislation addresses the qualifications for the office of Council Member imposed by Chapter 50 of the Charter in relation to the application of the two-year terms of Council Members established by Chapter 2 of the Charter. It does not change any term of office. Nor does it change those disqualification provisions of Chapter 50 of the Charter prohibiting any elected City official from serving more than two consecutive four-year terms. This legislation also does not change the current law mandating that the election to an unexpired term of office under Section 25b of the Charter not be considered a full term under Chapter 50 of the Charter. Therefore, a Council Member elected to fill an unexpired term of office can still serve two consecutive full terms immediately thereafter. This bill also addresses the question of whether an elected official who resigns or is removed from office prior to the end of a full term is disqualified from election to a further consecutive term to such office, if such elected official would have been otherwise disqualified under Section 1138 of the Charter. A. Section 25 of the Charter Under Section 25 of the Charter, the terms of Council Members are normally four years and, under state law, councilmanic elections must be held in odd number years. Section 25 also provides that the terms of Council Members elected in 2001 and 2003 and every twenty years after each of these years shall be two years. The purpose of the two-year term is to allow an election for Council Members in 2003 and every twenty years thereafter in order to expeditiously implement the redrawn Council district lines required to be drawn by March of 2003 and every twenty years thereafter. Without this election, the redrawn lines under a four-year term in decades in which an election for Council is held in the first year of that decade, would not go into effect until the fifth year of that decade. Therefore, it allows for the timely redrawing of Council districts while also keeping Council elections on the same four-year cycle as citywide and borough-wide elections. Section 1138 of Chapter 50 of the New York City Charter, added in 1993, disqualifies Council Members from serving more than two full consecutive terms. It makes no clear distinction between four-year terms and two-year terms, although Section 1137 and the literature in support of the initiative through which it was adopted suggests that the goal of that provision was to limit members to eight consecutive years in office. For example, a brochure distributed by the initiative sponsors told the public that they were voting for a "referendum to limit the Council Member to two consecutive four-year terms." Additionally, the ballot question and other documents discussing the initiative spoke about two consecutive terms of office which in context could only be understood as eight years. The application of Section 1138 and Section 25 of the Charter results in the disqualification of Council Members elected to their first full term in 1997 and every twenty years thereafter and their second term in 2001 and every twenty years thereafter from running again in 2003 and every twenty years thereafter and the disqualification of Council Members elected in 2003 and every twenty years thereafter and reelected in 2005 and every twenty years thereafter from running for reelection in 2009 and every twenty years thereafter. All other members of the Council remain qualified to serve two full four-year terms. Presently there are eight members who cannot be elected in 2003 under this provision and any new members elected in 2003 will be subject to this special disqualification. The Council declares that such unequal disqualification for office disadvantages the citizens of those districts from which Council Members are disqualified for running for greater than six consecutive years. Seniority and experience are significant factors in the capacity of Members to represent and serve their districts. Districts in which Members are disqualified from continuing to serve after six consecutive years are substantially disadvantaged as compared to districts in which Members can serve eight consecutive years. Additionally, five of the eight current Members who will be disqualified are members of protected minority groups under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and four represent majority- minority districts. As of 2002, 25 members of the Council are members of protected minority groups. Nineteen of their districts are majority-minority districts. The effect of the two-year term disqualification is that minority populations will be disproportionately disadvantaged by the disqualification of Members who have served six consecutive years. Such disproportional representation raises equal protection questions. The Council also declares that the disqualification of Members will serve to destabilize a Council, which has only recently amended its rules to broaden its lawmaking and oversight responsibility to a large number of Members and which faces a continuing budget crisis. The Council determines that the best means to remedy the above-described problems is to amend Section 25 of the Charter to provide that a two-year term established thereunder shall not be considered a full term for purposes of Section 1138, but the two consecutive two-year terms together shall be considered one full term in relation to Charter Section 1138. The Council determines that it has the authority to enact this amendment to Section 25 of the Charter without referendum. Term limits are qualifications for office and not subject to mandatory referendum under the Charter or state law. Additionally, the Council is without power to submit such local law to referendum. Under both the Charter and state law, local laws not subject to mandatory referendum may not be submitted to referendum. B. Leaving Prior To The End Of The Term Under Section 1138 of the Charter, the disqualification for continued consecutive service arguably does not apply in the event that an elected official leaves office prior to the end of that elected officials' term. Thus, an elected official could resign from office prior to the end of his or her elected term and run again without being disqualified. The Council declares that this anomaly undermines the goals of Section 1138 of the Charter. This legislation addresses the problem by clarifying that an elected official serves a full term for purposes of Section 1138 whether he or she resigns or is removed from office. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 7. If any provision of this local law or of any amendments thereto, shall be held invalid or ineffective in whole or in part or inapplicable to any person or situation, such holding shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this local law, and all other provisions thereof shall nevertheless be separately and fully effective and the application of any such provision to other persons or situations shall not be affected. § 8. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2002/036 In relation to prohibiting the City from doing business with institutions that engage, directly or indirectly, in predatory lending practices, and to regulate …

L.L. 2002/036 Enactment date: 11/20/2002 Proposed Int. No. 67-A By the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Council Members Sanders, Reed, Monserrate, Comrie, Addabbo, Baez, Barron, Boyland, Clarke, Davis, DeBlasio, Gioia, Jackson, Liu, Lopez, McMahon, Perkins, Quinn, Recchia, Rivera, Diaz, Dilan, Fidler, Felder, Foster, Gennaro, Katz, Koppell, Martinez, Nelson, Reyna, Seabrook, Serrano, Stewart, Vallone, Vann, Brewer, Gerson and the Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum); also Council Member Sears A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting the City from doing business with institutions that engage, directly or indirectly, in predatory lending practices, and to regulate the participation of home improvement contractors in the home-loan market. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The subprime lending industry has grown rapidly in the last few years, increasing almost tenfold since 1993. Assisted by unscrupulous mortgage brokers and home improvement contractors, some abusive subprime lenders aggressively market high-cost home loans that borrowers are unable to repay, and engage in other unfair or fraudulent credit practices that are stripping families and communities of the equity they have in their homes. These practices are commonly referred to as "predatory lending." Predatory lending practices, as documented by the United States Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Treasury Task Force and other commentators, include, among other things: repeated refinancing of a loan without any tangible benefit to the borrower; charging excessive prepayment penalties; financing single-premium credit insurance; encouraging a borrower to default on his or her other debts; failing to comply with federal requirements with respect to the disclosure of loan terms and loan settlements; making a loan for more than the borrower can repay; financing excessive points and fees; requiring advance payments; charging fees to modify a loan or to defer payments; permitting acceleration of loans at lenders' discretion; and increasing interest rates upon default. These practices can lock borrowers into high-rate loans even when they qualify for lower rates; strip equity from borrowers' homes; lead to impoverishment as borrowers pay thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in excessive costs, while owning less and less of their homes; and lead to increased foreclosures with profoundly damaging consequences for both families and neighborhoods. Because of increased property values and home equity, some New York residents in low-income areas are "asset rich and cash poor" and are thus prime targets for predatory lending practices. In particular, it has been documented that subprime lending is heavily concentrated in lower-income and minority areas of the City of New York, which can lead to a significant economic drain on lower-income families and communities throughout the City. The Council of the City of New York finds that the City should not encourage or support predatory lending, which damages the economic health of our City and its residents, by doing business with institutions that engage, directly or indirectly, in predatory lending practices. The Council finds that the City should not do business with institutions that adversely impact City revenues by siphoning resources from communities, thereby decreasing City sales and property tax revenues, and that increase City expenditures necessary to assist residents that are impoverished by predatory lending. The Council further finds that the City should not permit home improvement contractors to steer borrowers to specific lenders. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * Section 5. This local law shall take effect 90 days after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2002/037 In relation to the procurement of energy efficient products

L.L. 2002/037 Enactment date: 11/20/2002 Proposed Int. No. 156-A By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Addabbo, Brewer, Comrie, DeBlasio, Diaz, Gennaro, Gerson, Koppell, Martinez, Monserrate, Nelson, Perkins, Quinn, Reyna, Sanders, Seabrook, Vallone and Liu; also Council Members Jackson, Gioia and Moskowitz A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to the procurement of energy efficient products. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Findings and Intent. Recognizing the need for energy efficiency, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) decided in 1992 to promote the purchase of energy efficient products through an innovative labeling program. The ENERGY STAR labeling program tags products that meet energy efficient criteria, and as a result, reduce overall energy use, lessening the amount of fossil fuel being burned by power plants, and the amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. Through the ENERGY STAR program, manufacturers and retailers sign voluntary agreements allowing them to place ENERGY STAR labels on products that meet or exceed energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and the DOE. Manufacturers and retailers may also use the label in product packaging, promotions and advertising for qualified products. Most ENERGY STAR labeled products have the same or better performance, features, reliability, and price as conventional models. ENERGY STAR labeled office equipment saves energy by automatically entering a low-power mode when not in use. The energy-efficient models have all of the performance features of standard office equipment, but help to eliminate energy waste through special power management features. ENERGY STAR labeled office products use about half as much electricity as conventional office equipment, thereby significantly reducing energy costs. The Council finds that the potential benefits associated with the procurement and use of Energy Star products are enormous and easily achievable. On June 10, 2001, the Governor issued an executive order requiring that "State agencies and other affected entities shall select Energy Star energy-efficient products when acquiring new energy-using products or replacing existing equipment." Executive Order No. 111, Section III, June 10, 2001. Given the cost savings alone, it makes fiscal sense for the City to do the same. The Council finds that the City of New York should join New York State and lead other municipalities and New Yorkers by example in promoting the use of energy efficient products. Accordingly, the City in its role of market participant should, whenever possible, exercise its purchasing power to ensure that ENERGY STAR and other energy efficient products are acquired. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2002/039 In relation to displaced building service workers

L.L. 2002/039 Enactment date: 11/27/2002 Proposed Int. No. 239-A By Council Members Sanders, Jackson, Addabbo, Avella, Baez, Barron, Boyland, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Davis, DeBlasio, Dilan, Fidler, Foster, Gennaro, Gerson, Gioia, Katz, Koppell, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, McMahon, Monserrate, Nelson, Perkins, Provenzano, Quinn, Recchia, Reed, Reyna, Rivera, Seabrook, Sears, Serrano, Stewart, Vann, Weprin, Yassky, Gallagher, Oddo and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to displaced building service workers. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Findings and Intent. The effects of September 11 and the deepening recession have been devastating for low income New Yorkers. The volatility of the real estate industry coupled with new trends in the service economy are undermining stable employment relationships and creating a drain on an already over-burdened social service system. At a time of great uncertainty, it is the policy of the City to promote stability in employment for building service workers, which will reduce the need for social services resulting from unemployment, and promote stability in the service industry. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2002/040 To provide for the levy and collection of additional real property taxes for fiscal year 2003

No. 317-A By Council Members Weprin, Comrie and Boyland (by request of the Mayor) A Local Law to provide for the levy and collection of additional real property taxes for fiscal year 2003. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Where the mayor estimates that the revenue receipts for fiscal year 2003 will fall below the amount set forth in the budget for such year as adopted, and where the mayor requests modifications to the expense budget for such year, the council shall be authorized to raise, by an additional tax on real property in fiscal year 2003, additional revenues, by fixing additional tax rates in cents and thousandths of a cent upon each dollar of assessed valuation; provided, however, that such additional tax rates shall apply from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003, and provided, further, however, that nothing herein shall authorize any subsequent and further increase in the real property tax rates for fiscal year 2003. § 2. The council shall, at the same time as it fixes the additional tax rates as provided in section one of this local law, amend the assessment rolls by making the necessary adjustments to the listing of the sums, in dollars and cents, to be paid as a tax upon real property for fiscal year 2003 originally set down pursuant to section 1517 of the charter. § 3. The procedures set forth in sections 1518 and 1519 of the charter, without regard to the dates specified therein, shall apply to the collection of the additional amount of real property taxes provided for in this local law; provided, however, that such additional amount (i) shall be due and payable in one installment, on January 1, 2003, with respect to real property subject to paragraph b of subdivision one of section 1519 of the charter, and (ii) shall be due and payable in two equal installments, the first payment on January 1, 2003 and the second payment on April 1, 2003, with respect to real property subject to paragraph a of subdivision one of section 1519 of the charter. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, interest shall be charged, received and collected at the rate established pursuant to section 11-224 of the administrative code if such installment or installments shall remain unpaid in whole or in part on such date or dates. For purposes of section 1516-a of the charter, the tax rates for the current fiscal year shall be the rates, including the additional tax rates, applicable from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003. § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to and deemed to have been in full force and effect as of November 25, 2002.
