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.
