NYC L.L. 1991/002 In relation to the regulation and harboring of dangerous dogs

L.L. 1991/002 Enactment date: 1/4/1991 Int. No. 250-A By Council Members Maloney, Foster, DeMarco and Leffler; also Council Members Alter, Fields, Greitzer and Horwitz A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to the regulation and harboring of dangerous dogs Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section one. Legislative findings. The City Council hereby finds that the regulation and control of dangerous dog in New York City is a matter of vital concern, affecting the public health, safety and welfare of all New Yorkers. Experience from New York City and all across the United States has demonstrated that while most dogs make suitable pets, there are certain exceptionally dangerous and unpredictable dogs of various breeds. Once provoked, they become uncontrollable and lethal weapons, posing significant dangers to unsuspecting and innocent people. In the past four years, 28 Americans have been killed by dogs and countless others have been hurt and maimed. This year, people are dying as a result of dog attacks, at the rate of one or more a month, with children and elderly persons being the most frequent targets. This law seeks to remedy this dangerous situation by regulating the ownership of dangerous dogs in New York City. Given the population of New York City, the Council believes that such a law is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.

L.L. 1991/011 Enactment date: 2/7/1991 Int. No. 583 By the Speaker (Council Member Vallone) and Council Members Berman, Eisland and Dryfoos (by the request of the Mayor); also Council Members Castaneira-Colon, Crispino, Lisa, Maloney, Michels, O'Donovan, Povman, Robles, Ward, Williams, Wooten, Alter, Horwitz and Cerullo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York in relation to the accounting for revenues and expenditures associated with the safe streets - safe city omnibus criminal justice program Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section one. Declaration of legislative findings. The council hereby finds and declares that the rise in crimes against persons and property in New York city, compounded by an increased randomness of violence, has created a public safety emergency that requires an extraordinary governmental response. In recognition of this emergency, the council and the mayor have formulated and agreed to fund an ambitious, but necessary, initiative known as the safe streets - safe city omnibus criminal justice program. The program addresses the needs of the criminal justice system, first and foremost through the addition of over 8,000 police officers to the streets of the city. This will be accomplished through a reorganization of the police department that will enable the men and women of the combined police forces to police the streets of the city. Workload sharing with other city departments and the civilianization of the department will add 2,924 officers to patrol strength. Over the next six years, it is the intent of this program to hire an additional 2,873 officers to bring the number of uniformed positions in the New York city police department to 31,351. Additionally, funds will be provided to the New York city transit authority police department to civilianize the department and add officers so that by 1994 there will be a police officer on every train in this city between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. Finally, the force of the New York city housing authority police department with the addition of 208 officers will rise to its all-time high. The safe streets - safe city program will do much more. While more police officers will be hired, other needs of the criminal justice system will be addressed, including: enhancing prosecution capabilities, expanding jail capacity, improving probation services, and increasing funding for legal aid and alternatives to incarceration. The program also addresses the need for initiatives that will prevent crime and protect those most vulnerable to crime. The council finds that the expansion of school security and after school programs in schools and libraries will provide protection and alternatives for young people. The expansion of employment training programs and senior citizen services are also integral components of a comprehensive solution to crime on our streets. It is the declared intent of the council that the funds dedicated to the safe streets - safe city omnibus criminal justice program be used for the purposes outlined in section 5-603 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section two of this local law. To ensure that this goal is realized, the council, through this legislation, is requiring an accounting of revenues and expenditures associated with this program and a public reporting as to the status of the implementation of the safe streets - safe city program. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * Section 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

No. 756 By Council Member Greitzer; also Council Members Spigner, Eisland, Dear, Wooten, Rivera, Koslowitz, Cerullo III, Michels, Alter, Fisher, Leffler, Maloney, O'Donovan, Horwitz and Povman A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to item pricing in retail stores Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the failure of the state legislature to extend the state item pricing law has left consumers without assurance that they will be able to easily ascertain prices of basic consumer necessities such as groceries, paper goods, detergents, and health and beauty aids. Item pricing is uniquely useful in comparison shopping within a store, in keeping track of the total cost of items being purchased, and in discovering erroneous charges at the cash register. The Council finds, therefore, that the city's law concerning truth in pricing must be amended to add a new section on item pricing. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law shall take effect thirty days following its enactment.

NYC L.L. 1991/094 In relation to an enhanced 911 telephone surcharge

L.L. 1991/094 Enactment date: 12/16/1991 Int. No. 724-A By Council Members Berman and Leffler (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Dryfoos, Albanese, Robles and Povman (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 an enhanced 911 telephone surcharge Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The council acknowledges the paramount importance of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city of New York, and when the lives or property of its citizens are in imminent danger, timely and appropriate assistance must be rendered. The council recognizes further that such assistance is often summoned by the three-digit number, "911", a nationally recognized and applied telephone number which is used to summon police, firefighting, medical and other emergency services. The council finds that the enhanced emergency service known as "E911" provides substantial benefits beyond the basic 911 system, through, inter alia, the provision of selective routing and automatic number and location identification, and that these enhancements not only significantly reduce the response time of emergency services but also represent the state-of-the-art in fail-safe emergency telephone system technology. The council further finds that a major obstacle to the establishment of an E911 system is the cost of the telecommunication equipment and services which are necessary to provide such system. In recognition of the necessity to provide a funding mechanism for the establishment of an E911 system, in 1989 the New York state legislature enacted article six of the county law, which authorizes municipalities of the state to adopt local laws to impose a monthly surcharge on the customers of telephone service suppliers. Nothing herein shall be construed to abridge the powers of the New York city department of finance or any other city department, or the right of such departments to engage in any of their necessary or proper activities. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall remain in effect until the last day of the thirty-sixth month after the first service supplier shall have first added the monthly surcharge pursuant to subdivision c of section 11-2323 of this chapter.

Legislative Intent. The Council hereby finds that the operation of cranes and derricks by persons who are unqualified in their use is dangerous to the general public as well as the operators themselves. There have been instances of accidents resulting in serious injury to pedestrians. To deter such illegal activity, crane and derrick operator licensing and permit provisions have been enacted. To enforce such provisions, however, criminal sanctions are needed to punish certain individuals who are proven to have violated such regulatory provisions. In the language of the bill, the term "any person" may be interpreted to read "property owner." Nevertheless, before any such owner may be found guilty under this legislation, the City must prove intent on the part of the owner to violate the law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This bill shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law.
