Enactment date: 12/17/2013
Int. No. 925-A
By Council Members Jackson, Arroyo, Brewer, Chin, Dromm, Eugene, Fidler, Gentile, James, Koo, Lander, Recchia, Rose, Williams, Lappin, Rodriguez, Koppell, Levin, Van Bramer, Greenfield, Barron and Gennaro
A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring the department of education to provide data regarding the provision of arts instructional requirements.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that arts education is an essential element of every child's education. The benefits of arts education are well documented and studies have shown that a comprehensive arts education helps students learn more effectively in other areas of the school curriculum including math, science, reading and writing, score higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and achieve higher levels of academic success in college. In the early grades, the study of dance, music, theater and visual arts enriches student learning across the entire curriculum. As students move from elementary to middle school, the arts become an important vehicle for self-expression. Finally at the high school level, students can pursue the study of a particular art form in greater depth and consider the options available for advanced study.

Int. No. 1176-A
By Council Members Dilan, Koo, Koppell, Vann, Rodriguez, Vacca, Van Bramer, Mark-Viverito, Chin, Gentile, Gennaro, Greenfield, Jackson, Halloran and Ulrich (by request of the Mayor)
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the New York city building code, in relation to electric vehicle charging stations in open parking lots and parking garages.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that electric vehicles emit approximately 75% less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) than average vehicles. Pure battery electric vehicles do not emit tailpipe pollutants such as benzene and nitrogen oxide, which negatively impact city air quality and resident health. Providing for infrastructure to promote and support electric vehicle use will lead to improvement of the city's air quality and reduce the city's production of greenhouse gases.
Electric vehicles require chargers, or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSEs). The vast majority of parking facilities are not currently being built to accommodate electric chargers. Building parking facilities that have the capacity to add EVSEs incurs minimal additional costs, while helping to avoid retrofits in the future.

Enactment date: 12/30/2013
Int. No. 1174-A
By Council Members Crowley, Koo, Koppell, Vann, Van Bramer, Jackson, Gennaro and Halloran (by request of the Mayor).
A Local Law to amend the New York city fire code, in relation to the enhancement of emergency preparedness in New York city and the adoption of current fire safety standards as incorporated in the 2009 edition of the international fire code, and to amend certain provisions of the New York city charter, the New York city mechanical code and the New York city plumbing code consistent with amendments to the New York city fire code.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Legislative intent. This local law arises from the mandate of section 29-104 of the administrative code, which requires the fire commissioner to review the latest edition of the international fire code and submit to the city council such proposed amendments to the New York city fire code as the fire commissioner determines should be made. Section 29-104 was enacted by local law 26 of 2008, which adopted a new fire code for New York city based on the international fire code, with amendments to reflect the unique New York City environment. This local law amends the New York city fire code to incorporate new fire safety standards and technologies adopted or reflected in the international fire code since the 2003 edition that was the basis for the 2008 New York city fire code. The fire code amendments enacted by this local law also reflect an evolution in thinking about the implementation of emergency preparedness requirements in a wide range of business, commercial and institutional occupancies. New emergency preparedness requirements address non-fire emergencies and coordinate plan, staffing and voice communication capabilities. These amendments will fulfill the goal of local law 26 of keeping the New York city fire code current and relevant to the fire safety challenges facing New York city.
