NYC L.L. 2005/004 In relation to requiring the police department and the department of education to provide the public with information regarding school violence

L.L. 2005/004 Enactment date: 1/5/2005 Int. No. 226-A By Council Members Vallone Jr., Moskowitz, Addabbo Jr., Fidler, Foster, Gentile, Koppell, Nelson, Weprin, Palma, Gennaro, Sanders Jr., Liu, Comrie, Recchia Jr., Vann, McMahon, Seabrook, Rivera, Felder, Katz, Sears, Martinez and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring the police department and the department of education to provide the public with information regarding school violence. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. In order to combat violence in our schools, residents of the city must have accurate information on the number and types of incidents occurring and where these incidents are taking place. This information must be made public so that parents are aware of the safety conditions within which their children learn and so that our civic leaders can institute meaningful reform. The police department collects and reports information about criminal incidents and certain non-criminal incidents that occur in the schools. The Department of Education currently provides information to the public on its website about incidents in schools based on reports prepared by the Police Department. In addition, the Department of Education maintains the Online Occurrence Reporting System ("OORS"), in which information concerning violent and seriously disruptive incidents in the schools (in addition to other types of information not related to school safety) is recorded. The information relevant to school safety in OORS is not currently reported by the Department of Education on its website. To help parents and the public understand and fully assess the problem of school crime and other serious disruptive incidents, the DOE must continue to post school safety data on the internet and to enhance and improve upon the information that is provided. By receiving this information, the public will be in a better position to analyze and comment upon any inconsistencies and to weigh in on proposed policy amendments. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/007 In relation to a cause of action against firearms manufacturers and dealers

L.L. 2005/007 Enactment date: 1/18/2005 Int. No. 365-A By Council Members Yassky, Moskowitz, Vann, Nelson, Stewart, Brewer, Boyland, Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Gentile, Koppell, Seabrook, Weprin, Jackson, Recchia, Liu, Reed, Foster, Gerson, Lopez, Felder, Gennaro, Perkins and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to a cause of action against firearms manufacturers and dealers. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. In its most recent annual summary, the Office of Vital Statistics of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reported a total of 493 firearm deaths in New York City in 2003. The report further shows that 397 of these deaths were the result of homicide. In addition to these deaths, a number of victims each year suffer serious injuries resulting from the discharge of firearms. Though by far the most serious concern, homicide is only one of the many classifications of crimes involving firearms. Other armed crimes, including robbery, burglary, rape and kidnapping, account for additional incidents each year. In order to reduce gun-related crime, New York City has in the past two decades adopted a thorough background check and licensing scheme aimed at ensuring the responsible handling of firearms and the registration of all firearm owners in the City. Unfortunately, despite such efforts, the problem of gun crime persists at the alarming rate of approximately one firearm death per day. This fact is largely a result of the proliferation of illegal means of firearm procurement, such as unlicensed importation from other States with less restrictive gun laws, unregistered sales at trade shows, and so-called "straw purchases," in which authorized purchasers buy guns and provide them to unauthorized users, including minors and convicted felons. To combat this threat against the safety of New York City effectively, measures must be taken to stem the flow of illegal firearms at its source. The Council finds that if manufacturers and dealers followed the commonsense practices specified in this section, the flow of illegally transferred firearms and resulting injuries and deaths from the use of such firearms would be reduced significantly. Manufacturers and dealers who fail to abide by practices that will stem the flow of illegally transferred firearms must be held to a standard of liability, as should manufacturers and dealers who sell their products to other manufacturers and dealers knowing that such manufacturers and dealers have not complied with these practices. The Council therefore finds that the imposition of civil liability for distribution of firearms by dealers and manufacturers in the circumstances specified in this local law is essential to the maintenance of public safety and health. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 60 days after its enactment into law, and shall apply to causes of action in relation to transfers of firearms by dealers and manufacturers that occur after such effective date, provided that, notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this local law, any one-year period or thirty-day period referred to in this local law shall be reduced as may be necessary so that the commencement of such period in no event predates such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2005/009 In relation to limiting the acquisition of a rifle or shotgun to one per ninety-day period

L.L. 2005/009 Enactment date: 1/18/2005 Int. No. 490-A By Council Members Vallone Jr., Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Gerson, Koppell, Liu, Monserrate, Nelson, Recchia, Stewart, Weprin, Yassky, Quinn, Addabbo, Gennaro, Jackson, Martinez, Sanders, Vann, Reed, Foster, Katz, Brewer, Felder, Seabrook, Sears, Perkins and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to limiting the acquisition of a rifle or shotgun to one per ninety-day period. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Although many illegal guns are obtained outside of New York state, existing city laws governing gun sellers should be strengthened to prevent the diversion of guns to the illegal marketplace. The Council finds that it is imperative that additional protections be implemented to ensure that New York city continues to lead the way in preventing gun violence. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 180 days after its enactment; provided that the police commissioner is immediately authorized to adopt, amend and promulgate such rules as may be necessary to effectuate the purpose of this local law.

NYC L.L. 2005/012 In relation to information furnished to and provided by agencies that make child care referrals

L.L. 2005/012 Enactment date: 2/1/2005 Int. No. 473-A By Council Members DeBlasio, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Katz, Boyland, Palma, Reyna, Quinn, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Foster, Gennaro, Gerson, Gonzalez, James, Jennings, Liu, Martinez, Nelson, Rivera, Seabrook, Stewart, Vann, Weprin, Recchia, Avella, Felder, Sanders, Jackson, Oddo and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to information furnished to and provided by agencies that make child care referrals. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. The city of New York has an obligation to protect and promote the safety and well being of its youngest and most vulnerable residents. Public and private agencies upon which parents depend when they seek appropriate child care must be equipped to supply complete and accurate information regarding child care citywide. The purpose of this local law is to enhance the flow of information regarding child care facilities to public and private agencies that make referrals and ensure that referring agencies provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information to parents who seek child care. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/013 In relation to requiring the public dissemination of information regarding regulated child day care services

L.L. 2005/013 Enactment date: 2/1/2005 Int. No. 475-A By Council Members Katz, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), DeBlasio, Comrie, Foster, The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum), Avella, Boyland, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Gennaro, Gerson, Gonzalez, Jackson, James, Jennings, Jr., Koppell, Liu, Martinez, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Recchia, Jr., Reed, Rivera, Sanders, Jr., Seabrook, Sears, Stewart, Vallone, Vann, Weprin, Lopez, Reyna, Felder and Oddo A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the public dissemination of information regarding regulated child day care services. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent. The city of New York has an obligation to protect the safety and well being of its children, who are among its most vulnerable residents. This includes the regulation of child day care services regulated by the city of New York and not otherwise regulated by the state of New York, which provide care for children while their parents are at work. The Council recognizes an ever-increasing demand for day care services to help maintain the financial security of families. The Council finds, however, that parents often do not have access to complete, accurate information they need to make informed decisions when they select child care facilities for their children. The purpose of this local law is to ensure that parents have access to critical information they need to make informed decisions regarding their children's care and to improve the quality of day care throughout New York City. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 180 days after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/014 In relation to requiring regular reports regarding child day care facilities

This local law shall take effect 180 days after its enactment and shall expire on July 31, 2008.

NYC L.L. 2005/015 In relation to payday loans

L.L. 2005/015 Enactment date: 2/15/2005 Int. No. 176-A By Council Members Comrie, Nelson, Sears and the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Baez, Brewer, Clarke, Felder, Fidler, Gennaro, Gerson, Jackson, Jennings, Katz, Koppell, Lopez, Monserrate, Perkins, Quinn, Reed, Rivera, Sanders, Seabrook, Stewart, Weprin, Yassky, Moskowitz, Addabbo, Barron, Gentile, Martinez, McMahon, Recchia, Liu and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to payday loans. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative declaration. The Council finds that certain payday lenders may be unfairly taking advantage of New Yorkers throughout the City. These lenders, which can conduct business as storefront establishments, by mail, electronic, the Internet, or telephonic means, often charge high interest rates and fees for short-term loans. Accordingly, low-income New Yorkers may become trapped in burdensome high-interest loans. State law and federal regulations, including provisions of the U.S.C.A. and C.F.R., extensively govern the operating procedures and lending requirements of state and federally chartered lending institutions. Further, federal regulations enable state and federally chartered banks to export their home usury caps, if any, to states in which those institutions issue loans. Without limiting in any manner the scope of this subchapter, the Council declares that it is the general intent of this subchapter to reiterate that in the city of New York, some of the practices in activities commonly referred to as payday lending, deferred deposit advances, cash on demand, or cash advance services and other similar activities are currently illegal, subject to the exemption of certain entities by federal law, and to strengthen the penalties for those engaging in such activities. The Council finds that companies not subject to state and federal regulatory policies that elect to engage in the practice of payday lending must clearly disclose the terms of their loans to otherwise uninformed consumers. Accordingly, the Council intends to take action where permissible and require lenders to provide a disclosure notice to each would-be borrower so that he or she has a clear sense of the lender's operations and intentions. In addition, the Council is requiring such payday lenders to provide both the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Council with demographic information on the individuals taking out payday loans to ensure better tracking and public education in the future. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect forty-five days after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/019 In relation to requiring the department of health and mental hygiene to develop a prescription drug discount card program

L.L. 2005/019 Enactment date: 3/7/2005 Int. No. 172-A By Council Members Baez, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Rivera, Clarke, Dilan, Fidler, Foster, Gentile, Gioia, Katz, Koppell, Martinez, McMahon, Monserrate, Nelson, Quinn, Recchia, Seabrook, Stewart, Yassky, Gerson, Gennaro, Jackson, Liu, Vann, Gonzalez, Avella, Weprin, Perkins, and the Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of health and mental hygiene to develop a prescription drug discount card program. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. National spending for prescription drugs has continued to rise dramatically over the last decade. It is estimated that Americans spent more than $180 billion on prescription drugs in 2003, and that such spending could reach as much as $250 billion by 2006. According to a recent report from the Association of Chain Drug Stores, brand-name retail drug prices jumped nearly $10 per prescription between 2002 and 2003. The rising cost of prescription drugs has become particularly problematic as the number of uninsured individuals has continued to increase. According to a 2004 report by Families USA, approximately 81.8 million people - including one out of three of those under the age of 65 - were without health insurance in the United States for all or part of 2002 and 2003. In New York State, the proportion of individuals without insurance is even higher than the national average, with more than one out of three people under the age of 65 without health insurance for all or part of 2002 and 2003. In New York City, it is estimated that 1.8 million people had no health insurance in 2002, and two-thirds of the uninsured were employed. According to the New York City Community Health Survey, during 2003, an estimated 908,000 people chose not to fill one or more prescriptions because of cost. Accordingly, the New York City Council finds that a New York City prescription drug discount card program should be made available to all New York City residents regardless of age, income, immigration status or health insurance coverage status, and without any barriers, such as a fee for the card or a registration process, to participation in the program. It is the intent of the Council that the discounts under such program will pass to the beneficiary - the consumer - at the point of sale. Based on the experience of prescription drug discount cards in other jurisdictions, the Council expects that consumers will receive a substantial discount on prescription drugs under the New York City program. For example, under the Nassau County prescription drug card program, users of the NassauRx card benefited from drug prices that were up to 40% lower than the lowest commonly available retail price. Furthermore, it is also the intent of the Council that a New York City prescription drug discount card be used for purchases at pharmacies, through mail order and over the Internet. It is not the intent of the Council that the New York City prescription drug discount card be used in conjunction with any other discount prescription drug card during the same transaction or that this chapter be construed to require prescription drug manufacturers to participate in such program or to negotiate with any administrator regarding such program. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect one hundred and twenty days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/021 In relation to the rent payable by a tenant enrolled in the senior citizen rent increase exemption program when a rent reduction order has been issued

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately after its enactment into law and shall apply to rent reduction orders issued by the state division of housing and community renewal in effect on or after such enactment date.

NYC L.L. 2005/024 In relation to creation of a review process in the event of the closure of a publicly mapped street

L.L. 2005/024 Enactment date: 3/28/2005 Int. No. 185-A By Council Members Gerson, Yassky, Brewer, Jackson, Koppell, Lopez, Quinn, Stewart, Gonzalez, Avella, Martinez, Gennaro and Nelson A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creation of a review process in the event of the closure of a publicly mapped street. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 2. This local law shall take effect one hundred eighty days after it is enacted into law and shall apply to any street closures which commence after the day this local law is enacted into law, except those street closures related to construction pursuant to a project for which a bid has been issued by the city prior to the effective date of this local law, and provided further that it shall apply to those closures initiated by a local law enforcement agency for security reasons, which, if closed prior to the enactment of this local law, shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of enactment of this local law. However, if the government entity responsible for issuing the community reassessment, impact and amelioration (CRIA) statement described in subdivision b for such closure initiated by a local law enforcement agency for security reasons and in effect on the date of enactment of this local law is unable to complete such statement within two hundred ten days of the date of enactment of this local law, the commissioner shall so notify the council member in whose district the street closure is located and the time within which to issue the CRIA statement shall be extended to no more than one hundred eighty additional days, provided that a public forum is held within the first two hundred ten days. In addition, the commissioner of transportation may take any actions necessary prior to such effective date for the implementation of this local law, and shall adopt any necessary rules including, but not limited to, rules that may require a public or private entity seeking permission for a street closure to prepare the CRIA statement.

L.L. 2005/028 Enactment date: 4/4/2005 Int.

NYC L.L. 2005/029 In relation to posting beach inspection results, and to repeal section 18-131 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as enacted by local law number …

L.L. 2005/029 Enactment date: 4/4/2005 Int. No. 462-A By Council Members Gioia, Avella, Barron, Boyland, Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Gennaro, Gerson, Gonzalez, Koppell, Liu, Martinez, McMahon, Nelson, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Reed, Rivera, Sanders Jr., Weprin, Foster, Lanza and Gallagher A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to posting beach inspection results, and to repeal section 18-131 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as enacted by local law number 14 for the year 1991. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. As a way to increase public awareness of beach and park cleanliness and to ensure greater transparency and accountability in government, the Council finds that the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) ought to publish inspection data for parks and beaches on its official website. Bathing beach cleanliness data will be made available by posting results of water quality sampling obtained by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on its official website and having information posted at all bathing beaches operated by the City of New York. This information will inform the public of bathing beach water quality data, including acceptable bathing levels. In addition, the beach posting provisions require that DPR post the date and results of the last inspection of the beach and ancillary areas. This law also requires DPR to post on its official website the date and results of all inspections of all DPR properties, including, but not limited to parks and beaches, and to provide the public with an easy-to-use mechanism to search for the ratings of their local park property. In addition, this law will correct a technical error in the Administrative Code of the City of New York, in that two sections are numbered § 18-131. To correct this, both sections have been combined under the title "Posting of signs." * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4.

The Council finds that individuals and their personal property are, or can be, unwittingly exposed to pesticides applied on their neighbor's property.

The intent of this local law is to provide information to City residents about certain pesticide applications to which they may be exposed, so that they can take steps to minimize such exposure to themselves, their families, pets, backyard wildlife and property. Accordingly, this Council adopts the special notice requirements for commercial and residential applications of pesticides as set forth in Section 33-1004 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law. It is intended that this local law be read and applied consistently with that section and all other applicable provisions of the Environmental Conservation Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/044 In relation to identity theft

L.L. 2005/044 Enactment date: 5/19/2005 Int. No. 139-A By Council Members Reed, Boyland, Brewer, Gerson, Gioia, Jackson, James, Nelson, Quinn, Addabbo, Liu, Gentile, Gennaro, Koppell, Weprin, and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to identity theft. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section One. Legislative declaration. The Council finds that acts of identity theft are plaguing New Yorkers. Federal Trade Commission statistics for 2002 and 2003 indicate that identity theft is the single most common consumer fraud complaint in the nation. New York City residents are as likely to be victimized by identity theft as the citizens of many cities within the United States. The Council further finds that identity thieves are constantly developing new ways to harm consumers. Some hack into computer systems storing sensitive information and misuse the contents to defraud innocent victims. Others obtain personal information by stealing paper records or manipulating consumers to unknowingly surrender such data. Most recently, the practice of "skimming," or swiping an Automated Teller Machine card or credit card in a device programmed to steal the personal identification encoded in the card, has facilitated identity theft in small businesses throughout the City. Skimming can be done with a hand-held device or through an instrument installed in a seemingly innocuous Automated Teller Machine. The Council finds that such acts harm individual consumers and tarnish the good name of hard-working, upstanding New York City business people. Those few bad actors who use their professional resources to engage in identity theft should not be permitted to profit from City residents or act as authorized licensees of the City. The Council thus finds it necessary and appropriate to prevent chronic identity thieves from receiving or maintaining licenses from the Department of Consumer Affairs. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect 120 days after it shall have been enacted into law; provided that the commissioner may take any actions necessary prior to such effective date for the implementation of this local law including, but not limited to, establishing guidelines and promulgating rules.

NYC L.L. 2005/045 In relation to requiring city agencies to notify consumers in the event of a security breach of personal identifying information

L.L. 2005/045 Enactment date: 5/19/2005 Int. No. 140-A By Council Members Reed, Brewer, Gerson, Gioia, James, Nelson, Quinn, Addabbo, Liu, Gentile, Koppell, Monserrate, Weprin and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring city agencies to notify consumers in the event of a security breach of personal identifying information. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section One. Legislative declaration. The Council finds that acts of identity theft are plaguing New Yorkers. Federal Trade Commission statistics indicate that identity theft has become the single most common consumer fraud complaint in the nation. New York City residents are as likely to be victimized by identity theft as the citizens of many cities within the United States. The Council finds that identity thieves often gain control of victims' sensitive personal information by hacking into computers or otherwise violating the security of data systems. When such unauthorized persons acquire individuals' personal information, they are able to access bank accounts, take control of credit cards, and defraud unsuspecting victims. The Council thus finds that one of the most effective ways to curtail identity thieves is to inform would-be victims that the security of their sensitive personal information has been violated; individuals can then take the steps necessary to regain control of their privacy and finances. Accordingly, the Council finds it necessary to require City agencies to inform individuals whenever there has been a breach of security with respect to sensitive personal information. Agencies can best serve New Yorkers by making such disclosures expeditiously, while acting in accordance with the procedures of the New York City Police Department and other legitimate law enforcement agents. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 120 days after it shall have been enacted into law; provided that the commissioner of any agency may take any actions necessary prior to such effective date for the implementation of this local law including, but not limited to, establishing guidelines and promulgating rules.

No. 141-A By Council Members Reed, Brewer, Gentile, Gioia, Monserrate, Nelson, Moskowitz, Addabbo, Liu, Koppell, Weprin and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring businesses to notify consumers in the event of a security breach of personal identifying information. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section One. Legislative declaration. The Council finds that acts of identity theft are plaguing New Yorkers. Federal Trade Commission statistics for 2002 and 2003 indicate that identity theft is the single most common consumer fraud complaint in the nation. New York City residents are as likely to be victimized by identity theft as the citizens of many cities within the United States. The Council finds that identity thieves often gain control of victims' sensitive personal information by hacking into computers or otherwise violating the security of data systems. When such unauthorized persons acquire individuals' personal information, they are able to access bank accounts, take control of credit cards, and defraud unsuspecting victims. The Council thus finds that one of the most effective ways to curtail identity thieves is to inform would-be victims that the security of their sensitive personal information has been violated; individuals can then take the steps necessary to regain control of their privacy and finances. Accordingly, the Council finds it necessary to require businesses required to be licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs, or pursuant to provisions of state law enforced by the department, to inform individuals whenever there has been a breach of security with respect to sensitive personal information. Business people can best serve their fellow New Yorkers by making such disclosures expeditiously, while acting in accordance with the procedures of the New York City Police Department and other legitimate law enforcement agents. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. If any section, subdivision, 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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect 120 days after it shall have been enacted into law; provided that the Commissioner may take any actions necessary prior to such effective date for the implementation of this local law including, but not limited to, establishing guidelines and promulgating rules.

NYC L.L. 2005/049 In relation to banning the sale of certain substances containing lead

L.L. 2005/049 Enactment date: 5/19/2005 Int. No. 396-A By Council Member Fidler and the Speaker (Council Member Miller), and Council Members Reyna, Dilan, Gonzalez, Martinez, Baez, Rivera, Monserrate, Lopez, Palma, Quinn, Stewart, Oddo, Recchia, Boyland, Comrie, James, Koppell, Gerson, Addabbo, Vann, McMahon, Weprin, Gennaro, Vallone, Reed, Jennings, Felder, Clarke, Avella, Seabrook, Gioia, Barron, Perkins, Gentile, Brewer, Provenzano, DeBlasio, Lanza, Gallagher, Sanders, Yassky, Jackson, Sears, Foster, Liu, Nelson, Katz and Moskowitz A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to banning the sale of certain substances containing lead. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Lead is a highly toxic substance that has been found to cause permanent neurological damage in children. Lead poisoning is linked to many adverse health effects among children, including learning disabilities, behavioral problems, seizures, coma and sometimes death. According to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), litargirio is a yellow or peach colored powder, manufactured by certain laboratories outside of the United States, that has no proven health benefits and, because of its high lead content, poses health risks, especially for children, when used in contact with the skin or ingested. This powder has been used, among other things, as a deodorant, a foot fungicide and a treatment for burns and wounds. Because of the serious health risks associated with this powder, the FDA has issued a warning to the public not to use litargirio for any health-related or personal purposes. In addition, certain candy products have been discovered to contain dangerously high levels of lead For example, the FDA has warned consumers to avoid purchasing or consuming certain candies and snack products containing chili or products such as tamarind candies sold in clay pots and often manufactured outside of the United States. Some of these products have been found to contain high levels of lead and can increase the chances of lead poisoning in children. In addition, the risk of lead poisoning may also arise from the use of certain candy wrappers. Accordingly, as a result of the proven toxicity of lead and the above-mentioned FDA warnings, the Council finds that litargirio and certain candy products containing lead are dangerous substances, the sale of which should be prohibited in order to protect the public health. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Severability. If any 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 remain in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect one hundred and eighty days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/050 In relation to processing of applications for non-emergency housing for clients of the HIV and AIDS Services Administration

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds and declares that people with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS who seek assistance from New York City's Human Resources Administration ("HRA") have particularly acute needs for safe, clean housing to keep them healthy. The Council further finds that homeless clients of the department of AIDS services/HIV and AIDS Services Administration often spend long periods of time in emergency housing while they wait for medically appropriate, non-emergency housing. The goal of this legislation is to facilitate the application and referral process for medically appropriate, non-emergency housing for New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

No. 543-A By Council Members Quinn, Gioia, DeBlasio, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Clarke, Fidler, Foster, Gerson, James, Liu, Lopez, Palma, Reed, Sears, Stewart, Weprin, Koppell, Jackson, Moskowitz, Gennaro, Brewer, Perkins, Gonzalez and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of a central housing referral system to track clients of the HIV and AIDS Services Administration. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds and declares that people with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS who seek assistance from New York City's Human Resources Administration ("HRA") have particularly acute needs for safe, clean non-emergency housing to keep them healthy. The Council further finds that the lack of a comprehensive housing referral and tracking system creates greater challenges for providing non-emergency housing of the quality HRA's clients with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS require. The Council hereby aims to ensure higher quality housing for all HRA clients with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/053 In relation to creating civil penalties and a private right of action for false or fraudulent claims

L.L. 2005/053 Enactment date: 5/19/2005 Int. No. 630 By Council Members Yassky, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Perkins, Moskowitz, Clarke, Koppell, Liu, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Stewart, Weprin, Gennaro and Brewer A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating civil penalties and a private right of action for false or fraudulent claims. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The city of New York engages in annual disbursements of billions of dollars in public funds through one of the largest budgets in the United States, and is, therefore, desirous of preventing the payment of fraudulent claims by the city at taxpayers' expense. Compensation by the city of claims that are false or fraudulent has a considerable impact upon the city's treasury through the loss of untold amounts of public dollars. The federal false claims act provides an excellent model for combating fraud by government contractors and other parties. Since the federal false claims act was substantially amended in 1986, the federal government has recovered billions of dollars under the act. Additionally, a number of states have enacted civil false claims statutes of their own in order to impede fraud in state programs and to protect state treasuries. The Council therefore finds that the city of New York should enact legislation modeled on the federal false claims act, to enhance the city's ability to recover monetary damages from parties who file fraudulent claims for payment of city funds and to recover the substantial costs that are incurred in protecting the taxpayers against such fraud. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Severability. If any provision of this local law is adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment will not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but will be confined in its operation to the provision thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment was rendered. § 4. This local law shall take effect 90 days after it shall have been enacted into law, shall apply to claims filed or presented prior to, on or after such date, and shall remain in effect until the first day of June, 2012 when it shall be deemed repealed; provided, however, that such expiration date shall not apply to any civil enforcement action brought pursuant to section 7-804 of the administrative code of the city of New York that was commenced prior to such date but has not by such date reached a final disposition.

NYC L.L. 2005/055 In relation to Staten Island ferry service and the repeal of local law number 11 for the year 2005

L.L. 2005/055 Enactment date: 5/19/2005 Int. No. 636 By Council Member McMahon, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Oddo, Lanza, Liu, Nelson, Comrie and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to Staten Island ferry service and the repeal of local law number 11 for the year 2005. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council of the City of New York hereby finds that, in recognition of the steady population growth in Staten Island over the past several decades and the corresponding increases in ridership levels on the Staten Island Ferry, more frequent service is warranted. Moreover, increased Staten Island Ferry service serves as a necessary first step in minimizing the mass transit inequities currently experienced by Staten Islanders who do not have the option of utilizing the multitude of mass transit options available to residents of the City's other four boroughs. The Council believes that this legislation is a responsible response to the needs of Staten Islanders in the context of safety on the ferries, the City's current fiscal situation and current and foreseeable future staffing levels. The Council looks forward to working with the Mayoral Administration to address issues of mass transportation equity for Staten Islanders and to ensure that fair and safe service levels match the passenger counts that will soon be regularly recorded by the Department of Transportation through the rider-counting mechanisms recently installed at both Whitehall and St. George Terminals. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after it is enacted into law, except for paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (v) of subdivision (a) which shall take effect three hundred sixty days after it is enacted into law or no more than five hundred forty days after it is enacted into law only upon written notice to the council from the by the commissioner of transportation that such additional time is needed solely due to a shortage of qualified personnel needed to ensure proper ferry service.

NYC L.L. 2005/056 In relation to collective bargaining rights of certain city employees

L.L. 2005/056 Enactment date: 5/25/2005 Int. No. 380-A By Council Members Comrie, Addabbo, Jr., Barron, Baez, Clarke, Gennaro, Koppell, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, Monserrate, Nelson, Reed, Rivera, Sanders, Seabrook, Sears, Stewart, Vann, Weprin, Jackson, Quinn, Avella, Brewer, Gerson, Foster, Gentile, Jennings, Palma, deBlasio, McMahon, Gioia, Dilan, Gonzalez, Recchia, Perkins and the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to collective bargaining rights of certain city employees. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that employees working in various departments and agencies in the City of New York have certain job characteristics similar to those of employees working in the City's uniformed services, such as police, fire, sanitation and correction services. Furthermore, the Council recognizes that certain employees working in the City's uniformed services have unique bargaining rights under the New York City Collective Bargaining Law (New York City Administrative Code § 12-301, et seq.). The Council finds that individuals with job characteristics similar to those employees working in the City's uniformed services should be afforded the same unique bargaining rights as those afforded to individuals working in such services. The Council further finds that such changes are consistent with the New York State Taylor Law, in that they are designed to "promote harmonious and cooperative relationships between government and its employees..." New York State Civil Service Law (CVS) § 200. Furthermore, the Council finds that these changes are procedural in nature, affecting the manner in which bargaining is conducted on behalf of the affected employees, and will not provide a particular benefit to such employees, nor prescribe a certain result from collective bargaining. The Council finds that such procedural changes are permitted by and in accordance with the Taylor Law. CVS § 212. * * * [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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 5.

NYC L.L. 2005/057 In relation to equal access to bathroom facilities

L.L. 2005/057 Enactment date: 6/6/2005 Int. No. 42-A By Council Members Clarke, DeBlasio, Provenzano, Boyland, Foster, James, Lopez, Reyna, Barron, Brewer, Comrie, Jackson, Koppell, Liu, Martinez, Quinn, Reed, Rivera, Sanders, Vallone, Weprin, Gerson, Palma and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to equal access to bathroom facilities. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Almost every woman can recall waiting in a long line to use the bathroom, while there was no comparable line for a neighboring men's bathroom. According to studies by Dr. Sandra Rawls on patterns of behavior in the use of bathrooms, it frequently takes women twice as long to use the bathroom as it does men. Under the City's Building Code, however, places of assembly must provide equal numbers of women's and men's water closets. This ignores the reality of the different bathroom usage times of men and women. The 2003 International Building Code requires approximately twice as many water closets for women as for men in arenas, bars, concert halls, convention halls, motion picture theatres, public dance halls, stadiums, and theatres. Numerous jurisdictions, including California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, have enacted restroom equity laws. Moreover, before being amended, the Building Code Reference Standards' Table 16-5 on the minimum number of water closets had required more water closets for women than for men. The lack of equality between men and women results in the continuation of inconveniences seemingly directed at women. The Council is seeking to address this disparity by enacting this legislation. Accordingly, the Council finds it reasonable and necessary to require that arenas, bars, concert halls, convention halls, motion picture theatres, public dance halls, stadiums, and theatres provide sufficient women's bathroom facilities. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect 90 days after its enactment; except that the commissioner of buildings shall take all actions necessary, including the promulgation of rules, to implement this local law on or before the date upon which it shall take effect.

NYC L.L. 2005/061 In relation to creating a domestic violence fatality review committee

L.L. 2005/061 Enactment date: 6/6/2005 Int.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that domestic violence is a continuing problem in New York City. The persistent occurrence of such violence, and the fatalities that often result, reveal an urgent need to better understand the various causes of these crimes, as well as the adequacy of victim assistance and prevention services. Accordingly, the Council finds that a committee dedicated to reviewing and analyzing aggregate information regarding domestic violence fatalities that occur in New York City is needed. The examination of such information will enable the committee to analyze data and any patterns that may emerge from an examination of such information, analyze any demographic changes that may occur over time relating to such incidents and formulate recommendations regarding the coordination and improvement of services to victims to ultimately reduce the number of these tragedies. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/063 In relation to requiring the department of health and mental hygiene to track and report deaths of homeless persons in the city of New York

L.L. 2005/063 Enactment date: 7/11/2005 Int. No. 127-B By Council Members Quinn, DeBlasio, Reyna, Palma, Avella, Boyland, Brewer, Fidler, Gioia, Jackson, James, Martinez, Reed, Sanders, Gennaro, Liu, Clarke, Sears, Stewart, Weprin, Moskowitz, Seabrook, and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of health and mental hygiene to track and report deaths of homeless persons in the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. According to the Department of Homeless Services (DHS), the number of homeless New Yorkers residing in shelters each night reached the highest point in New York City history in November of 2003. Although the City has seen a recent decline in this population, there are approximately 35,000 homeless men, women and children residing in the shelter system, including approximately 14,000 children. While the City continues in its efforts to reduce street homelessness through the use of outreach teams and drop-in centers, recent estimates are that approximately 4,400 New Yorkers are sleeping on the streets, in parks and on the subways. While deaths take place each year within the homeless population, currently the City has no way of knowing exactly how many such deaths occur, where they occur, or the causes behind them. The Council finds that in order to more effectively protect these vulnerable residents, the City needs legislation requiring the periodic gathering of information regarding their deaths. Tracking and reporting these deaths will help the City better understand the challenges faced by homeless persons in New York City, and assist in the creation of policies and programs designed to safeguard such persons and prevent future unnecessary deaths. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/066 In relation to the license application requirements for general and food street vendors and to repeal paragraph 7 of subdivision b of section 17-309 and …

L.L. 2005/066 Enactment date: 7/11/2005 Int. No. 491-A By Council Members Barron, Boyland, Dilan, James, Liu, Martinez, Seabrook, Stewart, Vann, Clarke, Gonzalez, Reed, Jackson and Weprin A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the license application requirements for general and food street vendors and to repeal paragraph 7 of subdivision b of section 17-309 and paragraph 6 of subdivision b of section 20-455 of the administrative code of the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section One. Legislative findings and intent. New York has a longstanding history as a home to immigrants from around the world who have always contributed to the vibrant diversity of our city. Street vendors of New York City, many of whom are immigrants, are small business owners who work hard to support their families and contribute to the economic development of their neighborhoods. Every day millions of New Yorkers and tourists enjoy the cultural diversity that these vendors bring to our community. Although immigrants have vended on city streets for many decades, they have often been the targets for anti-immigrant hostility. In an attempt to clear the Lower East Side of Jewish, Italian and other ethnic vendors, the City began prohibiting non-citizens from vending as early as 1938. Recognizing this history and the City's current commitment to justice and diversity, the City finds that all applicants for general vendor and food vendor licenses should be treated equally and subjected to the same requirements. The City's interests in community health and safety, administrative efficiency and justice are best served by a system where immigrants can more fully participate in the City's economy and services. Recent Executive Orders Nos. 34 and 41 place new restrictions on the types of private information the City is allowed to collect or disclose, including immigration information. Respect for privacy and confidentiality is essential to ensure the effective performance of the City's many services. Street vendors should be able to access government services without fear that their personal information will be collected or disseminated. Allowing greater access to the City's services will help vendors successfully integrate into the City's small business system and cooperate with City agencies. Vendors will provide more revenue to the City through licensing fees and taxation. Through its health code, the City will be more able to control and regulate the sale and hygiene of food. More residents will be able to support their families, including those who began to vend in the streets as their only option for survival after losing their jobs as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks. By providing greater access to vending licenses, the City will encourage equality and entrepreneurship. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect thirty days after it is enacted into law.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Many diseases that affect dogs are highly contagious and the chances of transmitting such diseases are greatly increased when dogs are housed in boarding kennels, businesses or establishments. Vaccinations for rabies and other diseases are an important part of preventing disease among dogs. By requiring dog owners to provide proof of vaccination for certain common diseases before such animals are placed in boarding kennels, businesses or establishments, the City could lower the incidence of preventable diseases and help improve the health of these animals. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/071 In relation to developing a watershed protection plan for the watershed/sewershed of Jamaica Bay

L.L. 2005/071 Enactment date: 7/20/2005 Int. No. 565-A By Council Members Gennaro, Avella, Barron, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Gonzalez, Jennings, Koppell, Liu, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Vallone Jr. and Weprin A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to developing a watershed protection plan for the watershed/sewershed of Jamaica Bay. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. In October of 1972, the United States Congress established the Gateway National Recreation Area ("Gateway") as part of an effort to bring the National Park System and its ethic of preserving and protecting outstanding resources closer to major urban areas. Gateway encompasses the largest collection of natural systems, wildlife habitats, historic resources, and recreational opportunities in the New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area. It also encompasses numerous sites of critical natural and cultural importance to the health of local ecosystems, to the life of migratory and native species and to the military, navigational and aviation history of the region and the nation, especially in the context of attendant defenses of New York Harbor. According to the National Park Service (NPS), Gateway is the only extensive public natural area in the New York City region. The Jamaica Bay Unit is one of several units, consisting of lands, waters, marshes and submerged lands, comprising Gateway. The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge ("Refuge"), established by the City of New York in 1948, is located within the Jamaica Bay Unit. The Refuge, a State and nationally recognized important bird area, encompasses 2,500 acres within the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. The only wildlife refuge in the National Park System, it provides a shelter for rare and endangered birds and a variety of habitats for more than 325 kinds of waterfront and shorebirds. It is also a critical stop-over area along the Eastern Flyway migration route and is one of the best and world renowned bird-watching locations in the western hemisphere. Jamaica Bay is one of the largest and most productive coastal ecosystems in the State of New York, as well as within the Northeastern United States, and is an important recreational destination for local, national and international visitors. It contains approximately 13,000 acres of surface waters, including the largest tidal wetland complex in New York State. These wetlands provide benefits such as natural water quality improvement, flood protection and shoreline erosion control for the commercial and residential areas in and around the Bay in Brooklyn and Queens. Unfortunately, construction and development within the Jamaica Bay watershed has often been conducted without consideration of potential adverse impacts on the Bay and sometimes without notice to all interested governmental agencies, civic groups and other interested parties. One such governmental agency is the NPS, which is the primary steward of the Bay, itself, and with whom, among many other agencies, it is critical for the City to collaborate in order to protect the Bay. Jamaica Bay's future as an oasis of great ecological importance is in severe jeopardy due to the fact that thousands of acres of the Bay's marshy islands, which serve as nesting and feeding areas for an abundance of birds and other wildlife, are rapidly and mysteriously vanishing. Scientists predict that the Jamaica Bay marshlands will completely vanish in less than twenty years if the cause of their deterioration and a solution to their preservation are not found. This legislation would require the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to create a watershed protection plan for the watershed/sewershed of Jamaica Bay, and would create a Jamaica Bay watershed protection plan advisory committee. The Council finds that such watershed planning is vital to the future of Jamaica Bay. This legislation establishes the initial pathway towards restoring and maintaining the water quality and ecological integrity of the Bay by comprehensively assessing threats to the Bay and coordinating environmental remediation and protection efforts in a focused and cost-effective manner. Watershed protection planning for Jamaica Bay is an efficient and effective means of promoting the sustainability of the Bay's environment, the economy associated with the Bay, and the linkages between the two. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

L.L. 2005/072 Enactment date: 7/20/2005 Int. No. 664 By Council Members Liu, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Barron, Fidler, Gentile, Koppell, McMahon, Stewart, Vallone Jr., Gonzalez and Reyna A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to clean air taxis. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council of the City of New York hereby finds that use of alternative fuel vehicles is important to the City's goal of improving air quality and conserving fuel. The use of alternative fuel vehicles is especially appropriate with taxicabs, many of which operate 24 hours per day, spewing an enormous amount of emissions into the air. The burning of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gases that contribute to the growing problem of global warming. Furthermore, fuel prices continue to escalate while our reliance on fossil fuels has also increased our dependence on foreign sources of oil. Therefore, it is important to encourage the use and development of alternative fuel vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles, to increase fuel efficiency, reduce air pollution and lower our dependence on foreign oil. The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission has promulgated rules mandating specifications for taxicabs. These specifications, while important to passenger comfort, have prevented many promising alternative fuel vehicles, which do not meet specifications by minimal amounts, from being used as taxicabs. To further the City's policy of improving air quality and conserving fuel, this Council is enacting this law to designate certain alternative fuel vehicles to be used as taxicabs. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/073 In relation to the expenditure of payments in lieu of taxes and the reporting thereof

L.L. 2005/073 Enactment date: 7/20/2005 Int. No. 665 By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Rivera, Perkins, Weprin, Quinn, Monserrate, Koppell, Katz, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Dilan, Gentile, Gerson, James, Liu, Nelson, Palma, Reed, Reyna, Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Vann, Moskowitz, Gennaro, DeBlasio, Gioia, Vallone, Jr., McMahon, Stewart, Yassky, Boyland, Jackson, Barron, Gonzalez, Martinez, Recchia, Jr., Lopez and the Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) (in conjunction with the Mayor) A Local Law in relation to the expenditure of payments in lieu of taxes and the reporting thereof. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Payments in lieu of taxes that have not been remitted to the general fund may only be spent pursuant to one or more agreements between the mayor and the council. Such agreement or agreements shall be approved by resolution of the council. § 2. On January 1, 2006 and each quarter thereafter, the mayor, or such person as the mayor shall designate, shall issue a quarterly report to the council, setting forth for each payment in lieu of taxes the amount of and entity making the payment in lieu of taxes, the difference between the amount of the real property or other tax that would have been due but for the exemption and such payment in lieu of taxes, and the manner in which such payment in lieu of taxes is collected, held and expended. § 3. For purposes of this local law, "payments in lieu of taxes" shall mean all payments that are due pursuant to actions of the New York city industrial development agency or the New York city economic development corporation or any city agency with respect to any project when such payments are made in lieu of real property taxes or other taxes which would have been levied by or on behalf of the city if the project were not thereby exempted from the payment of such taxes. § 4. This local law shall take effect on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date the council adopts a resolution approving the first agreement between the mayor and council pursuant to section one of this local law; or (ii) September 30, 2005.

NYC L.L. 2005/079 In relation to creating a right of first refusal and a first opportunity to purchase

L.L. 2005/079 Enactment date: 8/17/2005 Int. No. 186-A By Council Members Gerson, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Brewer, Jackson, Stewart, Lopez, Yassky, Gentile, Clarke, Palma, Gonzalez, Reyna, James, Monserrate, Perkins, Barron, Avella, Reed, Quinn, Vann, Seabrook, Nelson, DeBlasio, Koppell, Martinez, Foster, Weprin, Recchia Jr., Liu, Moskowitz, McMahon, Sanders Jr., Katz, Arroyo, Gioia, Rivera, Boyland, Gennaro and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating a right of first refusal and a first opportunity to purchase. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council of the City of New York hereby finds that the increasing scarcity of affordable housing in the City makes it crucial to preserve existing subsidized housing units. Private owners are electing to prepay subsidized mortgages or to opt out of project-based subsidy programs at an alarming rate. No longer constrained by such programs, owners are putting their buildings up for sale, with the new purchasers forcing out low- and moderate-income tenants as the buildings open to market rents. One in ten federally subsidized assisted rental housing units in New York City has been or is in the process of being removed from the affordable housing stock, according to data compiled by the Community Service Society. Compounding this problem, the federal government has eliminated funding for programs designed to promote the preservation of subsidized housing, and it does not appear that any new federal programs will be funded to create new subsidized housing. In the face of such conversions from affordable housing to market rate housing, some city and state governments have enacted legislation granting a right of first refusal and a first opportunity to purchase to low to moderate-income residents who will maintain the buildings as housing for low- and moderate-income residents. The City of New York has an obligation to safeguard against the loss of affordable housing and the Council is enacting this local law to help ensure that the assisted rental housing stock is maintained for the people of New York. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. If any sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law shall be adjudged invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction such judgment shall not impair or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined to that part deemed invalid. § 4. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law except that the commissioner of housing preservation and development shall take all actions, including the promulgation of rules, necessary for the implementation of this local law prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2005/083 To create a temporary task force to study the feasibility of transferring city-owned wetlands to the jurisdiction of the department of parks and recreation

L.L. 2005/083 Enactment date: 8/31/2005 Int. No. 566-A By Council Members Gennaro, Addabbo Jr., Avella, Comrie, Fidler, Gerson, Gonzalez, Jennings, Koppell, Lopez, Martinez, McMahon, Palma, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Weprin, Reyna, Monserrate, Lanza, Vallone Jr., Brewer, Yassky, Gentile, Liu, Jackson, Gallagher, Arroyo and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to create a temporary task force to study the feasibility of transferring city-owned wetlands to the jurisdiction of the department of parks and recreation. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. For example, wetlands such as intertidal or salt marshes are comparable in ecological productivity to rainforests. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish and mammals can be part of a wetland ecosystem. Physical and chemical features such as climate, landscape shape, geology and the movement and abundance of water help to determine the plants and animals that inhabit a wetland. Wetlands provide values that no other ecosystem can, including natural water quality improvement, flood protection, shoreline erosion control and opportunities for recreation and aesthetic appreciation. In the City of New York, there are approximately fourteen square miles of wetlands still in existence, where more than 100 square miles once existed. Despite urbanization, 778 native plants and animals still exist in the City, accounting for sixty percent of the species that existed 100 years ago. A number of inventories regarding wetland areas in New York City already exist, such as those included in recommendations of the Habitat Working Group of the Harbor Estuary Program; recommendations of "An Islanded Nature", the latest report on expanding the Harbor Herons Urban Nature Refuge concept; the recommendations of the Needs and Opportunities Report to the Army Corp of Engineers on environmental restoration of the harbor estuary; and, the recommendations of the Regional Plan Association. In addition, there may be other inventories in existence that are not included in the above-mentioned list. An outstanding example of wetlands with ecological, water quality improvement, and recreational and aesthetic significance is those found in or near Jamaica Bay. This bill would create a task force to inventory City-owned wetlands in the City of New York and ascertain the feasibility of transferring these properties to be under the protection of the Department of Parks and Recreation. The City Council finds that City-owned wetlands, for which a transfer to the Department of Parks and Recreation is feasible, should be transferred in an expeditious manner in order to protect and maintain their environmental, economic and other benefits to New York City. § 2. a. There is hereby established a temporary task force to advise the mayor of the city of New York and the speaker of the council of the city of New York as to the technical, legal, environmental and economical feasibility of a transfer of city-owned wetland areas, including, but not limited to, those listed in existing inventories, to the department of parks and recreation. b. Such task force shall be comprised of seven members, three of whom shall be appointed by the speaker of the council and four by the mayor. The members shall be appointed within sixty days of the enactment of this local law and shall serve without compensation. The chairperson shall be elected from amongst the members. Any vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. The commissioners of environmental protection and parks and recreation may provide staff to assist the task force. c. Such members of the task force shall serve for a period of nine months, after which time such task force shall cease to exist. d. No later than three months before the expiration of the task force, the chairperson shall submit a report containing its conclusions and recommendations to the mayor of the city of New York and the speaker of the council of the city of New York. e. No later than six months after the submission of the report pursuant to subdivision d of this section, the mayor of the city of New York, or his or her designee, shall submit a report to the speaker of the council of the city of New York, which shall include, of those city-owned wetland areas that the task force deemed feasible for transfer to the department of parks and recreation: 1. the wetland areas that were transferred to such department, including the dates upon which such transfers occurred; 2. the wetland areas that are in the process of being transferred to such department or for which a determination to transfer has been made but for which the process to transfer has not yet begun, including the status of and anticipated dates for such transfers; and 3. the wetland areas that were not transferred and are not in the process of being transferred to such department, including an explanation as to why such action was not or will not be taken. § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately upon its enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/084 In relation to establishing a Chinatown/Lower East Side empire zone and the repeal of section 22-715 of such code

L.L. 2005/084 Enactment date: 9/27/2005 Int. No. 693 By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Gerson, Brewer, Gennaro, Liu, Sanders Jr., Weprin and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a Chinatown/Lower East Side empire zone and the repeal of section 22-715 of such code. 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. Subdivision (f) of section 958 of the general municipal law authorizes the creation of an empire zone designated as the Chinatown Empire Zone, although the boundaries authorized for such zone also include geographic areas generally referred to as "the Lower East Side". The Council believes that the designation of such Chinatown/Lower East Side Empire Zone 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, the boundaries of which area are set forth in section three of this local law. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2005/085 In relation to the human rights law

L.L. 2005/085 Enactment date: 10/3/2005 Int. No. 22-A By Council Members Brewer, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Comrie, Jackson, Jennings, Koppell, Lopez, Martinez, Monserrate, Perkins, Quinn, Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Stewart, Vann, DeBlasio, Reyna, Moskowitz, Gonzalez, Rivera, James, Yassky, Gerson, Barron, Palma, Baez, Katz, Weprin, Clarke, Liu, Dilan, Reed, Sears, Boyland, Gentile, Recchia, Foster, Avella, Arroyo, Gioia, Gennaro and The Public Advocate (Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to the human rights law. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. The purpose of this local law, which shall be known as the "Local Civil Rights Restoration Act of 2005," is to clarify the scope of New York City's Human Rights Law. It is the sense of the Council that New York City's Human Rights Law has been construed too narrowly to ensure protection of the civil rights of all persons covered by the law. In particular, through passage of this local law, the Council seeks to underscore that the provisions of New York City's Human Rights Law are to be construed independently from similar or identical provisions of New York state or federal statutes. Interpretations of New York state or federal statutes with similar wording may be used to aid in interpretation of the New York City Human Rights Law, viewing similarly worded provisions of federal and state civil rights laws as a floor below which the City's Human Rights law cannot fall, rather than a ceiling above which the local law cannot rise. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 12. This local law shall take effect upon enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/086 In relation to green building standards for certain capital projects

L.L. 2005/086 Enactment date: 10/3/2005 Int. No. 324-A By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Gennaro, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Gerson, Gioia, James, Koppell, Liu, Martinez, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Stewart, Weprin, Gonzalez, Yassky, Moskowitz, Reyna, Foster, Perkins, McMahon, Addabbo Jr., Monserrate, Gentile, DeBlasio, Baez, Palma, Katz, Avella, Reed, Jackson, Vallone Jr., Quinn, Rivera, Barron and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to green building standards for certain capital projects. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Probably no urban activity has greater impact on human health and the environment than building construction and use. Enormous quantities of resources are used during building construction, renovation and operation, and the production of these resources has substantial environmental impacts. It is estimated that 40% of raw materials consumed globally are used for buildings. In addition, in the United States, commercial and residential buildings are responsible for approximately 65% of electricity consumption, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 12% of potable water use and 136 million tons of construction and demolition waste annually. Also, many indoor building materials release hazardous toxins, impairing indoor air quality and reducing occupant health and productivity. Since most of New York City's electricity is produced within the City and many buildings use oil or natural gas for their heating and hot water, energy consumption in building operation translates into greater local pollution, including emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and mercury. These pollutants contribute to respiratory disease, heart disease, smog, acid rain, and climate change. Moreover, as energy demand rises, so does our reliance on dirty, inefficient power plants, as well as the nation's dependence on foreign oil and natural gas. Modern architects and engineers can reduce the health and environmental impacts of buildings by designing "high-performance buildings" or "green buildings." The United States Green Building Council, the nation's foremost coalition of real estate and environmental organizations working to promote green buildings, has developed a green building rating system known as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Buildings receive LEED certification if their designs score sufficient "points" in five general design areas including siting, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality. Thousands of residential and commercial buildings, ranging from single-family homes to large corporate headquarters, have been designed and constructed throughout the United States utilizing green building principles. Significant local examples include 4 Times Square and 20 River Terrace. A recent study conducted for the State of California concluded that, on average, green buildings show a ten times return on the investment in green building design. This comprehensive analysis of 33 green buildings revealed an average green cost premium of less than 2%, with only a 0.66% premium for buildings that achieved the most basic level of LEED certification. Numerous municipalities, including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Boulder, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Portland (Oregon), San Diego, San Francisco, San José, and Seattle, have adopted LEED or have otherwise required that city-owned buildings be built according to green building criteria. Some localities have created incentive programs for privately-owned green building construction, including the use of direct subsides, density bonuses and expedited permitting. Indeed, Boston will soon require private sector buildings of over 50,000 square feet to be LEED-certifiable. In New York City, numerous governmental bodies have also embraced green building concepts. The Battery Park City Authority has begun utilizing green building guidelines modeled on LEED for all commercial and residential building construction in Battery Park City. The Department of Design and Construction has also developed High Performance Building Guidelines and has begun applying the guidelines for libraries and other facilities. The New York City Transit Authority has adopted green building guidelines for all new transit facilities, including the Second Avenue Subway. Moreover, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have developed sustainable design guidelines and have designated "environmental planning" as one of five general requirements for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site and surrounding area. Likewise, many states, such as California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, have begun utilizing LEED for state-owned buildings. The State of New York provides tax credits for buildings that meet defined green building criteria and, under Executive Order 111, state agencies are directed to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide emissions and to utilize green building principles. The City owns approximately 1,300 buildings and leases over 12.8 million square feet of office space, and this legislation will affect approximately $12 billion in construction over the City's ten-year capital plan. Considering the size of the City's real estate portfolio, the Council finds that the use of green building criteria for City capital projects will substantially reduce New York City's electricity consumption, air pollution and water use, as well as improve occupant health and worker productivity and encourage market transformation. The Council further finds that reducing overall energy demand through green building techniques will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Finally, the Council finds that green buildings are a sound investment of public dollars. The Council's financial analysis indicates that, without taking any other savings or social benefits into account, savings in water and energy cost will offset debt service payments on any increase in capital expenditures resulting from this legislation. Accordingly, the Council declares that it is reasonable and necessary to employ green building standards in the construction and renovation of City-owned and City-funded buildings and that these standards be utilized in an orderly and timely fashion. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. An annual report shall be prepared no later than September 1 of each year in accordance with the procedure and format established by the department of design and construction. Such report shall include, but shall not be limited to, a list and brief description, including square footage and total cost, of any capital project subject to section 224.1 of the charter, as added by section 2 of this local law, completed during the preceding calendar year; the estimated level of LEED certification such capital projects have achieved as determined by the design agency in accordance with the LEED rating system or, if applicable, the level achieved, as certified by the United States Green Building Council; additional costs attributable to complying with the LEED green building rating system or any other green building standard; an assessment of the health, environmental and energy-related benefits achieved in comparison with a base-case code compliant project (including projected energy savings and reductions in peak load, reductions in emissions, reductions in storm water runoff and potable water use); a summary of agency findings related to additional investment in energy efficiency pursuant to subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) of paragraph two of subdivision b of section 224.1 of the charter, including any additional investment in energy efficiency considered and the estimated payback time for such investment through savings in energy cost; and the total value of capital allocations in each fiscal year, by city agency, of projects subject to, and exempted by the mayor for each of paragraph one and subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph two of subdivision b, paragraphs one and two of subdivision c and subdivision d of section 224.1 of the charter, as added by section 2 of this local law, as well as a list and brief description, by agency, of such exempted projects, including square footage and project cost. The first such report shall be completed on or prior to September 1, 2008. § 4. This local law shall take effect on January 1, 2007 and shall apply to capital projects for which the final design is approved pursuant to section 223 of the New York city charter after such effective date, except that prior to such effective date the mayor shall take all actions necessary for the timely implementation of this local law, including the promulgation of rules, and shall take all practicable steps to implement this local law. Section 3 of this local law shall expire and shall be of no further force and effect on and after January 1, 2019. Subdivision k of section 224.1 of the charter, as added by section 2 of this local law, shall expire and shall be of no further force and effect on and after January 1, 2017.

NYC L.L. 2005/087 In relation to prohibiting employers from locking employees or other individuals inside a workplace and increasing the fines for obstruction of exits and …

L.L. 2005/087 Enactment date: 10/3/2005 Int. No. 629-B By Council Members Yassky, Barron, Clarke, Fidler, James, Koppell, Liu, Nelson, Stewart, Weprin, Foster, Gennaro, Quinn, Gerson, Addabbo, Jr., Jackson, Brewer, Comrie, Martinez, de Blasio, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Gonzalez, Seabrook, Katz, Arroyo and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting employers from locking employees or other individuals inside a workplace and increasing the fines for obstruction of exits and unlawful change of exits. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Triangle Shirtwaist fire of 1911 significantly impacted labor unions and labor laws in the United States. At that time, 146 women and girls whose average age was 19 tragically perished in that fire because they were locked in their workplace. Despite numerous workplace safety laws and regulations that mandate emergency egress plans and fire safety equipment and plans, the problem of locking workers in the workplace still exists. A number of large retailers have been cited by the Untied States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for continuing this potentially fatal practice. In addition, newspaper accounts have indicated that janitors and immigrant workers at supermarkets in Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx are being locked in the workplace, with fire exits blocked or padlocked. This legislation would increase the penalties for obstruction of exits and unlawful change of exits. In addition, this legislation would create a penalty where an employer locks the doors of or otherwise prohibits the exit from any workplace when by doing so the health or safety of an employee may become endangered. A workplace is intended to be any location, away from the home, permanent or temporary, where any employee, independent contractor or other individual performs any work-related duty in the course of employment, whether or not such duty is a direct responsibility of such person, including, but not limited to, any building that is classified by title twenty-seven of the Administrative Code of the City of New York. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 6. 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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 7. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/089 In relation to requiring employers in the grocery industry to make prevailing health care expenditures on behalf of their employees

L.L. 2005/089 Enactment date: 10/11/2005 Int. No. 468-A By Council Members Quinn, Jackson, Reyna, Rivera, Gioia, Gennaro, Addabbo, Palma, Weprin, Yassky, Baez, Brewer, James, Gerson, Perkins, Katz, de Blasio, Martinez, Monserrate, Comrie, Sanders, Barron, Boyland, Clarke, Fidler, Gentile, Gonzalez, Koppell, McMahon, Nelson, Recchia, Sears, Stewart, Vann, Foster, Liu, Reed, Moskowitz, Lopez, Seabrook, The Public Advocate (Gotbaum), the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Avella and Sanders A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring employers in the grocery industry to make prevailing health care expenditures on behalf of their employees. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. In major industries in New York City, such as the grocery industry, responsible employers have long provided employer-paid health care for their employees and the families of their employees. Ensuring that employers do not eliminate employer-paid health care is important for minimizing the burden on taxpayers and the public health care system, protecting the health, safety and well-being of hardworking New Yorkers and promoting safe conditions and stable growth. Furthermore, research shows that ensuring access to employer-paid health care can strengthen industries by reducing employee turnover and improving employers' ability to recruit new employees. The City Council finds that in order to achieve these goals, employers should make prevailing health care expenditures on behalf of their employees. This local law initially establishes such a program in the grocery industry, where responsible employers have demonstrated that it is economically feasible to pay for their employees' health care, but a growing number of employers in this industry are not doing so. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or other portion of this local law, including any requirement imposed pursuant to it, 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. § 4. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/091 In relation to establishing a commission to study the feasibility of creating public/private partnerships to develop and operate job centers for immigrant day …

L.L. 2005/091 Enactment date: 10/18/2005 Int. No. 592-A By Council Members Gentile, Sears, Stewart, DeBlasio, Gioia, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Fidler, Gennaro, Gonzalez, James, Koppell, Nelson, Perkins, Reyna, Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Weprin, Quinn, Martinez, Liu, Barron, Palma, Yassky, Jackson and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a commission to study the feasibility of creating public/private partnerships to develop and operate job centers for immigrant day laborers. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent. The Council finds that immigrant day laborers often work under dangerous conditions, without the benefit of proper training, equipment or safety precautions. An estimated 15,000 day laborers live and work in New York State, including between 5,800 and 8,300 in the greater metropolitan region, the vast majority of whom are believed to be immigrants. A recent survey of day laborers in New York City found that almost 85% of those surveyed have experienced some type of abuse in the industry: 50 percent experienced non-payment of wages, and 56 percent were paid less than the agreed upon wage. The informal congregation of day laborers on City streets while they wait for employment creates additional concerns regarding day labor employment. In New York City, non-profit and community organizations have set up a handful of formally designated hiring sites, known as job centers, where day laborers and employers are able to connect under regulated conditions. These arrangements provide day laborers with viable and preferable alternatives to congregation on city streets, facilitate monitoring of health and safety conditions and improved enforcement of wage and hour laws, and create more systematic mechanisms for service providers to reach the day laborer community, which is otherwise transient and disorganized. The Council finds that job centers can improve the day labor industry through ensuring the use of contracts that clearly spell out agreed upon wages and dates of payment, assuring the availability of equipment essential for worker safety, gloves, and overalls, and by connecting employers with workers who have appropriate skills. The Council further finds that job centers have proven to be successful models for addressing the issues and concerns regarding day labor employment. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Effect of invalidity; severability. 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 shall continue in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect forty-five days after enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/097 In relation to requiring a recycling program for all rechargeable batteries

L.L. 2005/097 Enactment date: 12/1/2005 Int. No. 70-A By Council Members Koppell, Yassky, Liu, Nelson, Vann, Dilan, Fidler, Gerson, Jackson, Lopez, Quinn, Sanders, Seabrook, Stewart, Weprin, Brewer, Clarke, James. Gennaro, McMahon, Avella, Vallone Jr. and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring a recycling program for all rechargeable batteries. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative Intent and findings. The Council finds and declares that the presence of toxic metals in discarded rechargeable batteries is a matter of great concern in light of their adverse effect on groundwater quality when disposed of in landfills and their presence in emissions or residual ash when incinerated at a resource recovery facility; that cadmium, lead and mercury found in rechargeable batteries, on the basis of available scientific and medical evidence, are of particular concern; that it is desirable to reduce the toxicity of waste materials in the solid waste streams directed to resource recovery and sanitary landfill facilities; that the removal of used rechargeable batteries containing high levels of cadmium, lead or mercury from the solid waste stream can have a significant beneficial impact on the quality of the emissions and residual ash resulting from the incineration of solid waste at resource recovery facilities, and on groundwater quality in those regions where solid waste is disposed at sanitary landfill facilities; and that the most effective and appropriate method to promote the reduction of toxic metals from rechargeable battery disposal is to require the battery industry to accept the financial responsibility for the environmentally sound collection, transportation and recycling or proper disposal of discarded rechargeable batteries. The Council therefore determines that it is in the public interest of the city of New York to maximize the removal of used rechargeable batteries from the solid waste stream by banning the disposal of used rechargeable batteries from the solid waste stream and requiring manufacturers of rechargeable batteries to take back and recycle the used rechargeable batteries that are sold or disposed of in the city of New York. This law is purposefully structured to fit into current rechargeable battery initiatives, especially the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's call2recycle program. This program currently uses volunteer retailers, and provides them with collection boxes with pre-paid postage that can be mailed directly to existing recycling centers, to collect and recycle rechargeable batteries and cell phones of all varieties. The program also does public outreach and advertising to increase its recycling rates. The program is paid for by over 350 manufacturers and marketers of products that use rechargeable batteries and has over 37,000 participating retail partners, including approximately 350 retailers throughout the city, such as Radio Shack, Home Depot and Verizon Wireless. The Council finds that making this existing voluntary program mandatory would strengthen its effectiveness in the city of New York. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect one year after its enactment into law, except that section 16-406 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section two of this title, shall not take effect until eighteen months after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/098 In relation to increasing the fines for the offense of failing to yield the right of way to emergency vehicles en route to an emergency

L.L. 2005/098 Enactment date: 12/1/2005 Int. No. 343-A By Council Members Vallone Jr., Clarke, Fidler, Foster, Gennaro, Gentile, Gerson, Nelson, Reed, Rivera, Sanders Jr., Sears, Weprin, Liu, Palma, Katz, Seabrook and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to increasing the fines for the offense of failing to yield the right of way to emergency vehicles en route to an emergency. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Traffic congestion in New York presents an ongoing problem to emergency services. Emergency vehicles en route to an emergency are often forced to contend with stubbornly apathetic drivers who refuse to yield the right of way. State law currently sets the fine schedule for consecutive traffic infractions. The density of the population in New York City, however, increases not only automobile congestion, but also the number of emergency situations that arise and the scale of the response required to address many emergencies, thus posing a risk to public safety and health. Drivers who are unwilling to yield the roadway for emergency vehicles obstruct not only emergency vehicles, but also other drivers who attempt to yield the roadway. Many of the city's roadways are narrow enough that one such unwilling driver has the ability to obstruct completely the progress of an emergency vehicle. The City Council, in an effort to protect those in emergency situations by opening up the city's streets to emergency vehicles, creates a new section of the administrative code that increases the fines for failing to yield the right of way for an emergency vehicle. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 2005/100 In relation to proscribing certain conduct at major venue sporting events

L.L. 2005/100 Enactment date: 12/1/2005 Int. No. 528-A By Council Members Vallone Jr., Addabbo Jr., Fidler, Gennaro, Jennings, Katz, Koppell, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Rivera, Vann, Seabrook, Gentile and Liu A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to proscribing certain conduct at major venue sporting events. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. Unruly behavior at professional sporting events, and at sporting events at major venues, has increased in recent years. In 2003, local law 61 was adopted to make it illegal to enter the playing area of a professional sporting event or to enter such area and assault or attempt to assault a professional sports participant. This local law, however, only penalizes the entering of the playing area or the assault or attempted assault of a professional sports participant after entering the playing area of the professional sporting event, but does not address the tossing or hurling of objects, substances or dangerous instruments onto the playing area of a sporting event, the tossing or hurling of an object, substance or dangerous instrument at a sports participant during a sporting event, or the assault or attempted assault of a professional sports participant from the viewing area of a sporting event. The Council finds that tossing or hurling objects, substances or dangerous instruments onto the playing area of a professional sporting event, and at sporting events at major venues, may cause serious injury and may result in violence, particularly in a crowded venue during a sporting event. It is not the intent of this local law to penalize traditional fan participation in sports events, including but not limited to throwing a ball back onto the field after a home run, or the tossing of hats onto the rink after a hat trick in a hockey game. Rather, this local law is intended to address that behavior which is not part of a sports tradition but is intended to cause physical injury or disrupt an event. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law shall take effect 30 days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/105 In relation to the definition of campaign contribution under the Campaign Finance Law

No. 564-A By Council Members DeBlasio, Comrie, Palma, Perkins, Avella, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Gennaro, Gentile, James, Jennings, Koppell, Martinez, McMahon, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Rivera, Seabrook, Sears, Stewart, Weprin, Foster, Katz, Quinn, Addabbo Jr., Gerson, Barron, Boyland, Gonzalez and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the definition of campaign contribution under the Campaign Finance Law. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. Section 2 of this local law shall not have any effect on any adjustments made prior to the effective date of this law pursuant to subdivision 7 of section 3-703 of the administrative code. § 4. The provisions of this section shall govern all proceedings before the board and be effective upon enactment.

NYC L.L. 2005/107 In relation to requiring the purchase of Energy Star certified appliances whenever appliances in certain apartments are replaced

L.L. 2005/107 Enactment date: 12/19/2005 Int. No. 379-A By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Clarke, Perkins, Gentile, Barron, Gennaro, Gerson, James, Koppell, Lopez, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Vallone Jr., Weprin, Jackson, Brewer, Monserrate, Recchia Jr., DeBlasio, Baez, Moskowitz, Fidler, Yassky, Liu, Foster, Gioia, Sanders Jr., McMahon, Addabbo Jr., Reyna, Katz, Reed, Avella and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the purchase of Energy Star certified appliances whenever appliances in certain apartments are replaced. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Home electricity and gas expenses represent a substantial cost for many low-income New Yorkers in rental apartments. For example, nationally in 1997, households in multi-family buildings spent an average of $848 per year on energy. In addition, since much of New York City's electricity is produced within the City, energy consumption translates directly into greater local pollution, including emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon dioxide and mercury. These pollutants contribute to respiratory disease, heart disease, smog, acid rain and climate change. Moreover, as energy demand rises, so does our reliance on dirty, inefficient power plants and the City and nation's dependence on foreign oil and natural gas. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy certify a wide range of household appliances and building materials as energy efficient through the ENERGY STAR program, including refrigerators, room air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes washers and windows. For example, ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers use 25% less energy than the federal minimum standard for energy consumption. ENERGY STAR certified products are widely available and generally have little or no cost premium compared with uncertified products. Even when Energy Star products are more expensive than conventional options, these products more than pay for the increased price over time through reduced energy costs. When people buy appliances for their own homes, they have an incentive to ensure that the appliances use the least energy possible because homeowners pay for their energy costs. When landlords or developers, however, purchase appliances, they do not have the same incentive. Since it is tenants or future owners who generally pay for energy costs, the primary financial concern for landlords and developers is to limit the up-front costs of appliances, without regard for energy consumption. The Council finds that the increased use of ENERGY STAR certified appliances for apartments in New York City will substantially reduce household energy costs as well as the City's electricity consumption and air pollution. Accordingly, the Council declares that it is reasonable and necessary to require those who receive certain tax benefits from the City to purchase Energy Star certified appliances when they replace appliances in rental apartments. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment, except that the provisions of subdivision c of section 11-245.8 of bill section 2 shall take effect one year after enactment, and except that the commissioner of housing preservation and development shall take all actions necessary to implement this local law on or before the date upon which this local law shall take effect.

L.L. 2005/111 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 299-A By Council Members Monserrate, Vallone Jr., Addabbo, Avella, Gentile, Gerson, Koppell, Martinez, Nelson, Rivera, Sears, Liu, Clarke, Gennaro, Weprin, McMahon, Jackson, Gonzalez and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the removal of graffiti from commercial and residential buildings, and in relation to establishing a process whereby the city may clean graffiti from these buildings. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. The City Council finds that graffiti is a public nuisance, one that degrades the quality of life in neighborhoods and communities across the city. Graffiti creates an atmosphere of neglect, inviting criminal activity and contributing to a feeling of disorderliness and fear. In light of these considerations, it is important that graffiti in public view be cleaned as quickly as possible, while respecting property rights and First Amendment free speech rights. The goal of this legislation is to accommodate these important interests and to craft a solution to the City's graffiti problem that both adequately addresses the need to rid our communities of graffiti as well as protect our important freedoms. By imposing fines against the owners of certain property who fail to remove graffiti from their premises, coupled with granting to the City the ability to clean graffiti in public view from commercial and residential buildings, after an adequate notification process to property owners of such buildings, this legislation will improve the quality of life for our residents. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 90 days after its enactment.

No. 397-A By Council Members Gennaro, Avella, Comrie, Fidler, Jackson, Provenzano, Recchia, Weprin, Liu, Addabbo (by request of the Mayor) and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the noise control code and the repeal of subchapters 4, 5 and 6 of chapter 2 of title 24 of such code. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 16. All actions and proceedings, civil or criminal, or administrative proceedings commenced under or by virtue of any provision repealed by this local law and pending immediately prior to the taking effect of such repeal may be prosecuted and defended to final effect in the same manner as they might if such provisions were not so repealed. § 17. On or prior to January 1, 2007 the commissioner of environmental protection shall promulgate noise mitigation rules in accordance with section 24-219 of the administrative code, as added by section 10 of this local law. § 18. This local law shall take effect on July 1, 2007 provided that prior to such effective date agencies may promulgate rules or take other administrative actions necessary for the timely implementation of this local law including the appointment of any advisory committee and provided further that section 17 of this local law shall take effect immediately upon its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/114 In relation to requiring the police department to submit to the council reports of crime in parks and playgrounds

L.L. 2005/114 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 470-A By Council Members Addabbo, Jr., Vallone, Jr., Baez, Brewer, Comrie, Felder, Fidler, Gennaro,Gerson, Jackson, Katz, Liu, Martinez, Monserrate, Nelson, Perkins, Quinn, Recchia, Sanders, Seabrook, Stewart, Weprin, Moskowitz, Rivera, Avella, Clarke, Foster, Gonzalez, James, Palma, Reed, Sears, Vann, McMahon, Gentile, DeBlasio, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Yassky, Koppell, Gioia, Dilan, Reyna, Barron, Arroyo, Lopez and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the police department to submit to the council reports of crime in parks and playgrounds. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Although the police department gathers data about crime in parks, such information is not readily available to the council. The police department reports to the council on the number of crimes within each precinct, including a subset of housing bureau and transit bureau complaints within each precinct, but information on crime in parks is not separately provided. Parks provide an oasis for residents and visitors, and it is vitally important that just as precinct crime information is sent to the council on a quarterly basis, data about the safety of parks should also be provided to the council. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall become effective 30 days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/115 In relation to creating a child fatality review advisory team

L.L. 2005/115 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 480-A By Council Members Quinn, de Blasio, Fidler, Martinez, Palma, Recchia, Reyna, The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum), Boyland, Brewer, Clarke, Comrie, Foster, Gennaro, Gerson, Gonzalez, Jackson, James, Katz, Koppell, Liu, Nelson, Rivera, Sanders, Seabrook, Vann, Weprin and Sears A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating a child fatality review advisory team. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. New York City has a responsibility to serve its most vulnerable residents, especially its children. The Council recognizes that no child should die due to any preventable factor. The Council also recognizes that by establishing a mechanism for an independent, comprehensive, multiagency and multidisciplinary review of all child deaths, we will better understand trends and patterns regarding how and why children die in New York City, and thus be better able to take action that can prevent other such deaths and improve the health and safety of New York City's children. The Council finds that this review must occur at the City level to ensure that the characteristics of child protection that are unique to a large urban area such as New York City are appropriately identified and addressed. The Council also finds that the establishment of a local, independent Child Fatality Review Advisory Team would promote cooperation and communication among the various City agencies involved in investigating child fatalities and would help facilitate the provision of services needed by children and families. Therefore, the Council finds that a New York City Child Fatality Review Advisory Team is necessary to identify preventable social and family circumstances that contribute to child fatalities; provide recommendations regarding the investigation and prevention of child deaths; and identify problems in practices and recommend solutions. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/117 In relation to establishing a "no wake area" within the Harlem River and requiring appropriate signage, requiring the preparation and distribution of …

L.L. 2005/117 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 495-A By Council Members Martinez, Barron, Comrie, Jennings, Palma, Seabrook, Stewart, Yassky, Koppell, Brewer, Sears, Jackson and Liu A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a "no wake area" within the Harlem River and requiring appropriate signage, requiring the preparation and distribution of educational material about wake reduction and establishing a temporary citywide boater safety and wake reduction task force. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The operation of water-borne vessels within the city of New York or its territorial waters results in the production of wakes, some of which travel at speeds and heights that pose a danger to the safety of boaters in vessels that are not mechanically propelled, and may damage piers and other shoreline structures, waterfront recreational facilities and parks, the shoreline itself and wetland restoration sites along the waterfront. The New York Restoration Project, a non-profit organization founded over ten years ago, creates open space for public access and manages several gardens and parks. In 1996, the organization began work to clean up a five-acre parcel of land on the Harlem River located at the corner of Harlem River Drive and Dyckman Street that was being used as a dumping ground for boats, refrigerators, construction equipment and other debris. The New York Restoration Project converted this area to parkland and opened the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse in 2004, which is a floating structure managed by the New York Rowing Association, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to sharing the benefits of rowing for athletes in New York City of all ages and athletic abilities. In addition, the organization initiated a wetland restoration project along the shoreline that was completed in 2003 by the New York State Department of Transportation. The Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse has required several costly repairs during its short period of operation. For example, over 300 linear feet of sewer, sprinkler and water utility piping running from the boathouse to the shore was destroyed, a floating dock was damaged and the boathouse's fendering system deteriorated. According to the New York Restoration Project, harmful wakes have contributed to these damages. The Harlem River is a popular waterway for rowing and crew racing. Nicknamed "Scullers Row" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Harlem River is considered by many to be the birthplace of American rowing. In addition to the Peter Jay Sharp boathouse, the Columbia University Boathouse is located at the northern tip of Manhattan near Spuyten Duyvil. Columbia University rowers have long practiced and raced on the Harlem River as far south as Yankee Stadium. Other rowing clubs use the Harlem River for daily practice, including Fordham University, Manhattan College and the Empire State Rowing Association. Use of the Harlem River for rowing is rapidly increasing. In 2005, there were two regattas on the Harlem River, including the first annual Peter Jay Sharp "Head of the Harlem" Regatta in September, which drew high school, collegiate and master rowers from up and down the eastern seaboard. The New York Rowing Association's Urban Rowing Initiative teaches swimming and rowing to urban teenagers, especially from Washington Heights and the South Bronx, as a way of opening up both the river to its surrounding community and the kids to possible athletic scholarships. The New York State Office of Parks and Historic Preservation is studying the feasibility of building a multi-use boathouse at the southern end of Roberto Clemente State Park as part of a park-wide renovation to be completed by 2010. Despite the Harlem River's unique role as a crew racing destination in New York City, rowers must compete with mechanically-propelled boat users and their wakes. A recent incident underscores the need for operators of all water-borne vessels to exercise extreme caution in their activities and to make allowances for the possibility of the presence of other boaters in the water. In this incident, a collision occurred between a racing shell carrying four members of the Peter Jay Sharp Rowing Club and another vessel. The four men were thrown into the water, and while three were rescued by the operators of the vessel, the fourth man, Jim H. Runsdorf, could not be rescued. This bill is therefore named in tribute to Jim H. Runsdorf. This tragedy raises questions about how to improve the coordination of water transportation in areas known for crew racing using non-mechanical boats and regattas. This legislation addresses this problem by defining two areas in the Harlem River as a "no wake area" to enhance the safety of non-mechanically propelled vessel operators and protect piers and other shoreline structures, waterfront recreational facilities and parks, the shoreline itself and wetlands along the waterfront. This legislation also addresses the need for increased awareness and care among operators of water-borne mechanically-propelled vessels traveling in the territorial waters of New York City by publicizing educational material and creating a temporary citywide task force on boater safety and wake reduction. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. This local law shall be known as the Jim H. Runsdorf Law. § 6. This local law shall take effect immediately, except that sections two and three shall take effect ninety days after it shall have become a law, and except that the police commissioner and the commissioner of parks and recreation shall take such actions as are necessary for the implementation of sections two and three of this local law prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2005/118 In relation to environmental purchasing and the establishment of a director of citywide environmental purchasing

L.L. 2005/118 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 534-A By Council Members DeBlasio, Gennaro, Avella, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Gerson, James, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Stewart, Weprin, Koppell, Moskowitz, Barron, Perkins, McMahon, Foster, Reyna, Monserrate, Yassky, Gonzalez, Gioia, Gentile, Katz, Reed, Jackson, the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to environmental purchasing and the establishment of a director of citywide environmental purchasing. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. In almost every category of goods, there are some products that are environmentally preferable to others. In many instances, there is little or no additional cost associated with the environmentally preferable option. For example, there is little cost difference between paper with no recycled content and paper with thirty percent post-consumer recycled content. Similarly, environmentally preferable indoor paints are readily available from all major paint manufacturers. Many levels of government have established environmental purchasing programs. The federal government, for example, requires all federal agencies, subject to price and other considerations, to purchase goods with a minimum percentage of recovered material according to guidelines developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, federal agencies are required by Executive Order 13101 and the Federal Acquisition Regulation to assess and give preference to those products and services that are environmentally preferable. States such as California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania have also developed extensive environmental procurement programs, as have many local governments. Environmental purchasing programs take into account numerous factors, including the production of waste, energy and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, indoor air quality, recycled and reused content and the presence of hazardous substances. The Council finds that the purchase of environmentally preferable products will protect the environment by reducing the City's energy consumption, air pollution, hazardous releases and water use. Accordingly, the Council declares it is reasonable and necessary to require the establishment of a citywide director of environmental purchasing. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. 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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect January 1, 2007, except the mayor shall appoint a director of citywide environmental purchasing within 60 days after January 1, 2006, and such director shall take any actions necessary, including the promulgation of rules, to implement this local law on or before the date upon which it shall take effect. Provided, however, that this local law shall take effect only in the event that: Int. No. 545-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of products with recycled content, and to repeal section 6-122 and subchapter 5 of chapter 3 of title 16 of such code, takes effect; Int. No. 536-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of energy efficient products, and to repeal subdivisions a, c, d, e and f of section 6-127 of such code, takes effect; and Int. No. 544-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reduction of hazardous substances in products purchased by the city, takes effect.

NYC L.L. 2005/119 In relation to the purchase of energy efficient products, and to repeal subdivisions a, c, d, e and f of section 6-127 of such code

L.L. 2005/119 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 536-A By Council Members Gennaro, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Gerson, Jackson, James, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Sears, Stewart, Vallone Jr., Weprin, Koppell, Lanza, Moskowitz, DeBlasio, Barron, Perkins, Avella, McMahon, Foster, Reyna, Monserrate, Yassky, Gonzalez, Gioia, Gentile, Katz, Reed, the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of energy efficient products, and to repeal subdivisions a, c, d, e and f of section 6-127 of such code. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. 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 certifies products that meet energy efficient criteria, and as a result, reduces 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 also can 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. Federal buyers are directed by Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 23 and Executive Orders 13123 and 13221 to purchase, where life-cycle cost-effective, products that are Energy Star labeled or products that are designated to be in the upper 25% of energy efficiency in their class, as well as products with low standby power. Federal agencies are also required to reduce their energy use by 35% by 2010 in comparison to 1985 levels. In addition, the DOE established the Federal Energy Management Program ("FEMP"), which provides federal agencies with energy efficiency recommendations that exceed the scope of Energy Star by addressing commercial-sized products and water-using products. Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the FEMP standards became mandatory for all federal agencies, subject to certain exemptions. Accordingly, the Council declares it is reasonable and necessary to require the purchase of energy efficient products. * * * [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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 5. This local law shall take effect January 1, 2007, except that the director of citywide environmental purchasing as appointed by the mayor shall take all actions necessary, including the promulgation of rules, to implement this local law on or before the date upon which it shall take effect. Provided, however, that this local law shall take effect only in the event that: Int. No. 534-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to environmental purchasing and the establishment of a director of environmental purchasing, takes effect; Int. No. 545-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of products with recycled content, and to repeal section 6-122 and subchapter 5 of chapter 3 of title 16 of such code, takes effect; and Int. No. 544-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reduction of hazardous substances in products purchased by the city, takes effect.

NYC L.L. 2005/120 In relation to the reduction of hazardous substances in products purchased by the city

L.L. 2005/120 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 544-A By Council Members Quinn, Gennaro, Barron, Brewer, Clarke, Fidler, Foster, Gerson, Jackson, James, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, Nelson, Palma, Weprin, Koppell, Moskowitz, DeBlasio, Perkins, Avella, McMahon, Recchia Jr., Reyna, Monserrate, Sears, Vallone Jr., Yassky, Gonzalez, Gioia, Gentile, Katz, Reed, Sanders Jr., the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reduction of hazardous substances in products purchased by the city. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. In almost every category of goods, there are some products that are environmentally preferable to others. In many instances, there is little or no additional cost associated with the environmentally preferable option. Many common consumer products contain hazardous materials. Some of these materials, like lead and mercury, which can be found in computers and other electronic goods, are persistent bioaccumulative toxins. When these products are improperly stored or disposed of they can contaminate the soil, groundwater and air. Likewise, many products used in office building improvements, including carpeting materials and paints, have environmentally preferable alternatives. In response to the damage posed by hazardous products, governments, industry, healthcare professionals and non-profit organizations have supported the establishment of environmental purchasing standards. The Council finds that environmentally preferable products should be purchased by the City. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3.

NYC L.L. 2005/121 In relation to the purchase of products with recycled content, and to repeal section 6-122 and subchapter 5 of chapter 3 of title 16 of such code

L.L. 2005/121 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 545-A By Council Members Recchia Jr., the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Gennaro, Brewer, Fidler, Gerson, James, Liu, McMahon, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Sanders Jr., Seabrook, Stewart, Vallone Jr., Weprin, Koppell, Moskowitz, DeBlasio, Barron, Perkins, Avella, Foster, Reyna, Monserrate, Sears, Yassky, Gonzalez, Gioia, Gentile, Katz, Lopez, Jackson and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of products with recycled content, and to repeal section 6-122 and subchapter 5 of chapter 3 of title 16 of such code. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. In almost every category of goods, there are some products that are environmentally preferable to others. In many instances, there is little or no additional cost associated with the environmentally preferable option. For example, there is little cost difference between copy paper with no recycled content and copy paper with thirty percent post-consumer recycled content. Pursuant to section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed recommended guidelines on the minimum recovered materials content of items purchased by federal agencies and other levels of government that apply more than $10,000 in federal funding towards a purchase. These guidelines apply to products in the following categories: paper; vehicular; construction; transportation; park and recreation; landscaping; non-paper office; and miscellaneous. The minimum percentage of recovered materials recommended for products in these categories is determined and updated periodically through the Federal Register in the form of Recovered Materials Advisory Notices. The EPA conducts an extensive consultation process in setting recovered materials standards. The Council finds that the purchase of recycled products will protect the environment and improve the welfare of New York City residents and workers. Accordingly, the Council declares that it is reasonable and necessary to require the purchase of products with recycled content. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. 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 law, which remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect. § 6. This local law shall take effect January 1, 2007, except that the director of citywide environmental purchasing as appointed by the mayor shall take all actions necessary, including the promulgation of rules, to implement this local law on or before the date upon which it shall take effect. Provided, however, that this local law shall take effect only in the event that: Int.

No. 544-A, a proposed local law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reduction of hazardous substances in products purchased by the city, takes effect.

NYC L.L. 2005/122 In relation to requiring the New York city department of education to report on the number of temporary and non-standard classrooms in use in the public school …

L.L. 2005/122 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 550-A By Council Members Martinez, Moskowitz, Barron, Brewer, Comrie, Dilan, Fidler, Gennaro, Gentile, Gerson, Gonzalez, Jennings, Koppell, Liu, Monserrate, Nelson, Palma, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Stewart, Weprin, deBlasio, Jackson and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring the New York city department of education to report on the number of temporary and non-standard classrooms in use in the public school system. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings. New York City public schools have been overcrowded for decades. As a result, at hundreds of schools across the City, the Department of Education has installed "temporary classrooms" or "transportable classroom units." These are semi-permanent, modular buildings designed to provide classroom space cheaply and quickly. Unfortunately, many of these temporary classrooms have become permanent fixtures in their schoolyards. The Department has insufficient funds to replace them with proper school buildings, and, therefore, many of these structures have remained in use for decades. These temporary classrooms are undesirable for many reasons. They are often poorly heated, ventilated and lit. They isolate children from their school communities and take up space that is needed for playgrounds and athletic facilities. In addition to installing temporary classrooms, the Department, in response to overcrowding, has converted non-classroom space within existing school buildings to classroom use. As a result, many students attend class in converted offices, bathrooms, basements, and other spaces that were not designed to be classrooms. These spaces often lack sufficient natural light, and are laid out in a manner that is far from ideal. Some of these spaces likely do not meet minimal standards for appropriate classroom design. Furthermore, in the most overcrowded schools, the elimination of libraries, laboratories, art rooms, auditoriums and other spaces in order to provide classroom space deprives children of fundamental, important aspects of their education. Although the Department of Education has for years promised to eliminate the use of temporary and non-standard classrooms, it has been slow to do so. The public is not aware of the scope of these problems, as parents are generally only familiar with their children's schools. Therefore, public pressure to improve these substandard classrooms has not reflected the level of public dissatisfaction with such facilities. The Council finds that the Department's efforts to eliminate temporary and non-standard classrooms would be aided by the annual public disclosure of the number of such classrooms. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. If any 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 the local law that added this section, which remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect immediately after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/123 In relation to the purchase of green cleaning and other custodial products

L.L. 2005/123 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 552-A By Council Members Moskowitz, the Speaker (Council Member Miller), Gennaro, Quinn, Baez, Brewer, Comrie, Fidler, Gentile, Gerson, Koppell, Liu, Martinez, Nelson, Recchia Jr., Reed, Sears, Stewart, Weprin, DeBlasio, James, Barron, Perkins, McMahon, Reyna, Monserrate, Vallone Jr., Yassky, Gioia, Sanders Jr., Katz, Lopez , Palma, Jackson and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the purchase of green cleaning and other custodial products. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. The Council finds that there are environmentally preferable alternatives to the products that we commonly use for routine tasks, such as cleaning and maintaining interior building finishes. Such alternatives are most beneficial to those who apply them and those who occupy buildings where such products are used. In addition to the federal government, a number of state and local jurisdictions have taken steps to purchase environmentally preferable or "green" cleaning products. The Council finds that the purchase and use of many such environmentally preferable cleaning alternatives will result in improved indoor air quality and enhanced environmental health. § 2.

This term shall not include any product designed primarily to remove grease, grime and oil. (13) "Sanitizer" means any United States environmental protection agency-registered agent that is used to reduce, but not necessarily eliminate microorganisms to levels considered safe by public health codes or regulations. b. A pilot program, which the director shall administer, is hereby established to study the feasibility of using green cleaning products in city facilities. c. The director shall develop a list of cleaning products currently used in large quantities by agencies and shall select cleaning product categories currently used by agencies that are suitable for inclusion in the pilot program. At a minimum, general-purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, glass cleaners, carpet cleaners, floor finishes, floor strippers and air fresheners shall be included in the pilot program if used by the city and disinfectants, sanitizers, graffiti removers, metal cleaners, furniture polishes and degreasers shall be considered for inclusion in such program. d. For each product category included in the pilot program, the director shall establish health and environmental criteria for selecting products to be tested and evaluated in the pilot program. The following may be considered in establishing such criteria: (1) any available scientific evidence; (2) any specifications, guidelines or rules of other governmental agencies or jurisdictions, or organizations supporting the establishment of environmental purchasing standards; (3) whether such products contain any known respiratory irritants, mutagens or petrochemical-based fragrances, are produced from bio-based materials, or are sold in containers that reduce worker exposure to the chemicals contained therein; and (4) any other matter determined by the director to be relevant to determining such health and environmental criteria. e. The director shall select environmentally preferable cleaning products in each product category for inclusion in the pilot program that meet the criteria established pursuant to subdivision d of this section. Where the director selects a product for testing and evaluation in a product category for which an applicable Green Seal standard exists, the director shall, to the extent practicable, direct that the product, at a minimum, meet such Green Seal standard, with the exception of product packaging and concentrate requirements. f. The director shall select an appropriate, representative sample of facilities, or portions thereof, owned by the city within which to implement the pilot program. g. No later than one year after the date of enactment of this local law, the director shall develop and publish a pilot program plan for the testing and evaluation of environmentally preferable cleaning products, which shall include: the list of products in each category to be tested and evaluated in the pilot program; testing and evaluation guidelines for such products; the facilities, or portions thereof, designated for inclusion in such pilot program; and any other information relating to the pilot program that the director deems appropriate. Immediately upon its publication, such plan shall be distributed to all agencies participating in the pilot program, in addition to the mayor and the speaker of the council. Any update or modification to such plan shall immediately be distributed as described above. h. The testing and evaluation process of the pilot program shall assess products selected for the program based upon effectiveness, health and safety, costs and savings. i. No later than three years after the enactment of this local law, the director shall submit a report to the mayor and the speaker of the council, which shall detail the results of the pilot program. Such report shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) a list of the products that were tested and evaluated in each product category; (2) a description of the pilot program process and how each product category and product was selected for inclusion in the program and tested and evaluated, as applicable; (3) the health and environmental criteria established for each product category and, where the director has not directed that tested and evaluated products, at a minimum, meet the applicable Green Seal standard for the relevant product category where such a standard exists, with the exception of product packaging and concentrate requirements, an explanation as to why the director has not done so; (4) the facilities, or portions thereof, in which the pilot program was implemented; (5) the agencies whose facilities or employees were included in the pilot program; (6) the list of cleaning products developed pursuant to subdivision c of this section, the amount of each such product purchased during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007, and whether or not these products meet the health and environmental criteria established by the director pursuant to the pilot program; (7) an analysis and conclusion regarding the testing and evaluation of each product with respect to effectiveness, health and safety, and anticipated costs or savings and how such results compare to an assessment of such characteristics for the standard cleaning product used for the same purpose; and (8) a determination as to the feasibility of using environmentally preferable cleaning products in each of the product categories included in the pilot program citywide in facilities, or portions thereof, owned and/or leased by the city, based upon effectiveness, health and safety, costs and savings of the products in such category. For any facility type or specific application for which the director determines that the use of such products in a specific product category is not feasible, the reasons for such lack of feasibility and all efforts made to successfully use such products in such facility type or application shall be described. j. The director may, on an ongoing basis, test and evaluate environmentally preferable cleaning products, not limited to the product categories included in the pilot program, to determine the feasibility of using such products by the city. § 4. Green cleaning technical advisory committee. a. A green cleaning technical advisory committee shall be established, which shall provide advice and recommendations to the director for the duration of its term on the green cleaning product pilot program established pursuant to section three of this local law, regarding: (1) the scope and implementation of the pilot program, including the product categories, products, facilities, or portions thereof, and agencies included in the program; (2) for each program category, the health and environmental criteria that products shall meet; (3) the testing and evaluation of products; (4) a determination as to the feasibility of using environmentally preferable cleaning products citywide in facilities, or portions thereof, owned and/or leased by the city; and (5) any other recommendations to improve upon or make the pilot program more effective, including regarding end-user outreach and training and the experience of other jurisdictions. b.

NYC L.L. 2005/125 In relation to requiring the New York city department of education to report average class sizes in each school to the City Council

L.L. 2005/125 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 619-A By Council Members Moskowitz, Baez, Brewer, Fidler, Foster, Gennaro, Gerson, James, Koppell, Liu, Martinez, Nelson, Palma, Sanders Jr., Sears, Vann, Weprin, deBlasio, Jackson and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring the New York city department of education to report average class sizes in each school to the City Council. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings. For decades, public schools in New York City have been overcrowded. Although class size varies from school to school, some elementary and middle schools have classes in excess of 30 students and some high schools have classes in excess of 35 students. Such class sizes are considered unreasonable by parents, students and educators. Over the past decades, a variety of means have been tried to reduce class sizes, including hiring additional teachers, building additional school buildings, staggering classes over a dozen or more periods during the school day, and placing class size limitations in the contract between the Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers. Although some of these measures have been successful, they have not succeeded in reducing class size uniformly, citywide, to acceptable levels. The Council finds that one reason the Department of Education has been unable to reduce class size to acceptable levels citywide is that the public and policymakers do not have access to accurate and timely class size information. The Council therefore finds that legislation requiring the Department to report such information is necessary to ameliorate this deficiency. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. If any 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 the local law that added this section, which remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. § 4. This local law shall take effect one hundred and eighty days after its enactment into law.

NYC L.L. 2005/126 To establish a temporary advisory committee to advise the mayor and the speaker of the council on issues pertaining to access to broadband technologies within …

L.L. 2005/126 Enactment date: 12/29/2005 Int. No. 625-A By Council Members Brewer, Boyland, Comrie, Fidler, Gerson, Gonzalez, James, Liu, Nelson, Palma, Recchia Jr., Sears, Weprin, Jackson, DeBlasio and The Public Advocate (Ms. Gotbaum) A Local Law to establish a temporary advisory committee to advise the mayor and the speaker of the council on issues pertaining to access to broadband technologies within the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Access to broadband, a high-speed connection to the Internet, is becoming increasingly essential to New York City's residents, not-for-profit organizations, and businesses. Such high-speed connections enable the fast relay of voice and data that many have come to expect. Additionally, broadband connections are necessary for conveying images, sounds and video, all of which require large amounts of bandwidth. Broadband connections are improving the quality of life across all ages and sectors. Schoolchildren can communicate with their teachers quickly and easily, as well as complete homework projects that involve on-line multi-media educational resources. Home-bound seniors may use broadband to connect with doctors who can relay test results in real time. Broadband also benefits businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Due to the important role of broadband in the city, the council of the city of New York deems it useful to create a broadband advisory committee to advise the mayor and the speaker of the council on issues pertaining to access to broadband technologies and to gather information and data regarding the needs of residents that access to broadband might be able to address. This local law is in support of the mayor's telecommunications plan and seeks to supplement and not duplicate the findings in the mayor's telecommunications plan or the work of the mayor's telecommunications policy advisory group. The findings of this committee shall be used to inform the agencies implementing the recommendations of the mayor's telecommunications plan and the mayor's telecommunications policy advisory group. § 2. Broadband Advisory Committee. a. There shall be an advisory committee, to be known as the Broadband Advisory Committee, which shall review the ways and methods of using municipal resources to accelerate the build-out of current, emerging and any newly developed broadband technologies and other advanced telecommunications and information services, such as cable, digital subscriber line ("DSL"), broadband over power lines ("BPL"), any other wire-based methods, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and any other wireless technologies, within the city of New York. b. The broadband advisory committee shall be comprised of fifteen members, seven of whom shall be appointed by the speaker of the council, and eight of whom shall be appointed by the mayor. The committee shall select a chairperson from among the members of the committee. The members shall be appointed within thirty days of the enactment of this local law and shall serve without compensation. Each member may be removed for cause at any time by the original appointing authority and any vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as the appointment of the departing member was made. c. The committee shall be deemed established upon the appointment of seven of its members and shall continue until December 31, 2008. d. The committee shall meet as many times as it deems necessary but in no event shall it meet less often than two times in the first calendar year. The committee shall also hold at least one public hearing in the first year in each borough to educate the public on new technologies and policies and to accept public comment. The committee shall also accept comments received through email and regular mail. Any comments accepted by the committee shall also be made available to the general public by being posted on the city's website. Thereafter, the committee shall meet as many times as it deems necessary but in no event shall it meet less often than two times in the next two years. The committee shall hold at least one public hearing in each borough in the next two years to educate the public on new technologies and policies and to accept public comment. The committee shall continue to accept comments received through email or regular mail, and comments accepted by the committee shall also be made available to the general public by being posted on the city's website. e. For the purposes of this local law, the presence of seven members shall be deemed a quorum. In the presence of a quorum, any act taken by a majority of those present shall be deemed an act of the committee. f. The committee shall be comprised of, but not limited to, persons with expertise in the following areas: 1. Business, technology, industrial organization, and economics; 2. The not-for-profit and philanthropic communities; 3. Technology, telecommunications, privacy, antitrust, and information law and regulation; and 4. Such other areas as the appointing authorities deem appropriate. g. The committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the mayor and the speaker of the council at least once a year. Such findings shall be used to inform the agencies implementing the recommendations of the mayor's telecommunications plan and the mayor's telecommunications policy advisory group. The findings and recommendations shall also be made available to the general public by being posted on the city's website. Such report shall contain, but not be limited to: 1. An identification of the geographic areas of the city where the committee deems broadband technologies and telecommunications and information services are needed and which technologies will best serve these areas; 2. An analysis of the current broadband and other advanced telecommunications and information services market, including, but not limited to, an assessment of current providers' and intermodal competitors' offerings, levels of competition, pricing, innovation, customer service and overall responsiveness to consumer demand; and 3. Recommendations that the mayor and the speaker of the council may implement regarding the mandate set forth in subdivision a of section two of this local law, including, but not limited to, possible incentives for telecommunications companies and broadband service providers to deploy affordable access to broadband technologies and other advanced telecommunications and information services in areas of the city where such technologies are needed. h. The department of information technology and telecommunications and any other city agency may make available to the committee any relevant information concerning broadband technologies and telecommunications and information services. § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately upon its enactment.
