Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Int. No. 889-A

By Council Members James, Williams, Dromm, Koo, Koppell, Mendez, Lappin, Gentile, Levin, Gennaro, Van Bramer, Jackson and Halloran

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the unlawful removal or acceptance of recyclable material.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that it is important to the general welfare and economic vitality of the City to have a robust residential and commercial recycling program. Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the theft of recyclable material placed curbside for collection by the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) or private carters by persons utilizing motor vehicles. Additionally, the City does not receive recyclables from certain large residential and institutional buildings. Such activity has a negative economic impact on the City, jeopardizes the stability and integrity of the City's residential and commercial recycling program and makes it more difficult to achieve the City's recycling goals. Furthermore, there has been a dramatic increase in the theft of recyclable material containing refrigerants placed curbside by residents for DSNY removal. Theft of this material likely means that the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other refrigerants present in this material are not being properly removed pursuant to the Clean Air Act. To address these issues, the Council finds that it is necessary to strengthen the laws against the unlawful removal of recyclable material and bolster DSNY's collection from residential and institutional buildings.

* * *

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

* * *

§ 5. Notwithstanding paragraph two of subdivision a of section 16-461 of chapter 4-C of title 16 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section four of this local law, an agreement for the collection of recyclable material entered into prior to June 26, 2013, shall terminate on the date provided therein or shall be deemed to terminate on June 26, 2015, whichever date is earlier, provided, however, that if such agreement terminates prior to June 26, 2015, it may be renewed once for a period ending no later than June 26, 2015.

§ 6. This local law shall take effect one hundred twenty days after enactment, except that paragraph two of subdivision a of section 16-461, subdivision c of section 16-461, paragraph three of subdivision a of section 16-464, subdivision c of section 16-464, and subdivision h of section 16-464, as added by section four of this local law, and section five of this local law, shall take effect immediately; and provided that the commissioners of sanitation and consumer affairs, and the chairperson of the business integrity commission, may take such actions as are necessary for the implementation of this local law, including promulgation of rules, on and after the date of enactment.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting bias-based profiling.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. The City Council finds that bias-based policing endangers New York City's long tradition of serving as a welcoming place for people of all backgrounds. The Council further finds that the people of the City of New York are in great debt to the hard work and dedication of police officers in their daily duties. The name and reputation of these officers should not be tarnished by the actions of those who would commit discriminatory practices. By passing this legislation, it is the intent of the City Council to create a safer city for all New Yorkers.

The City Council expresses deep concern about the impact of NYPD practices on various communities in New York City. In particular, the Council expresses concern about the NYPD's growing reliance on stop-and-frisk tactics and the impact of this practice on communities of color. In 2002, the NYPD made approximately 97,000 stops. By 2010, the number of stops had increased to more than 601,000. Black and Latino New Yorkers face the brunt of this practice and consistently represent more than 80 percent of people stopped despite representing just over 50 percent of the city's population. Moreover, stop-and-frisk practices have not increased public safety, as year-after-year nearly 90 percent of individuals stopped are neither arrested nor issued a summons.

Bias-based profiling by the police alienates communities from law enforcement, violates New Yorkers' rights and freedoms, and is a danger to public safety. It is the Council's intent that the provisions herein be construed broadly, consistent with the Local Civil Rights Restoration Act of 2005, to ensure protection of the civil rights of all persons covered by the law.

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

§ 4. Severability. If any provision of this bill or any other provision of this local law, or any amendments thereto, shall be held invalid or ineffective in whole or in part or inapplicable to any person or situation, such holding shall not affect, impair or invalidate any portion of or the remainder of this local law, and all other provisions thereof shall nevertheless be separately and fully effective and the application of any such provision to other persons or situations shall not be affected.

§ 5. This local law shall take effect ninety days after it is enacted.

L.L. 2013/078

Enactment date: 10/2/2013

Int. No. 974-A

By Council Members Vacca, Lander, Palma, Rose, Lappin, Arroyo, Brewer, Chin, Eugene, Ferreras, Gentile, Jackson, James, Koo, Koppell, Koslowitz, Mendez, Reyna, Rivera, Williams, Rodriguez, Mark-Viverito, Crowley, Gonzalez, Levin, Van Bramer, Weprin, Garodnick, Barron, Gennaro, Greenfield, Mealy and Ulrich

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting discrimination in employment based on pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that pregnant women are vulnerable to discrimination in the workplace in New York City. For example, there are reports that women who request an accommodation that will allow them to maintain a healthy pregnancy, or who need a reasonable accommodation while recovering from childbirth, are being removed from their positions, placed on unpaid leave, or fired. It is the intent of the Council to combat this form of discrimination by requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant women and those who suffer medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. Such a reasonable accommodation may include bathroom breaks, leave for a period of disability arising from childbirth, breaks to facilitate increased water intake, periodic rest for those who stand for long periods of time, and assistance with manual labor, among other things. It is not the intent of the Council to require such accommodations if their provision would cause an undue hardship in the conduct of an employer's business.

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

§ 5. This local law shall take effect 120 days after it shall have become a law, except that the commissioner shall, prior to such effective date, take such actions as are necessary to implement the provisions of this law.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to Staten Island ferry service and to repeal subdivision c of section 19-305 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to Staten Island ferry service.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. It shall be the policy of the city of New York that the Staten Island Ferry operate in such a way that, absent emergencies or exigent circumstances, a ferry never departs more than thirty minutes after the departure of a previous ferry from the same terminal.
