A Local Law in relation to waiver of fees for businesses recovering from damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of intent. A severe storm, known as Hurricane Sandy, recently hit New York City causing heavy flooding, power outages, and widespread damage and disrupting the operation of businesses offering services that are essential to the economic vitality of the city and to the health and well-being of its residents. The expeditious resumption of business in storm damaged areas will be encouraged and incentivized by waiving certain fees that would otherwise be payable to agencies of the city for permits, licenses and inspections required by law in order for such businesses to rebuild and to operate.
§ 2. The fees listed in section 5 of this local law payable to city agencies in connection with the recovery from the effects of Hurricane Sandy by businesses that were in operation as of October 26, 2012, and that meet the eligibility criteria of this section, as determined by the Mayor or his or her designee, may be waived as set forth in this local law. The waiver of fees shall apply to fees otherwise payable to agencies on or prior to December 31, 2013 in connection with the repair or reconstruction of space occupied or to be occupied by eligible businesses, the alteration or repair of systems owned by eligible businesses and serving only space occupied by such eligible businesses, or the replacement of a vehicle required to do business. For the purposes of this section a building shall not be considered an eligible business. Businesses eligible for waiver of fees pursuant to this local law must meet the following criteria:
   a.   As of October 26, 2012, the business must (i) have been located in space that is in a building within the boundaries of a Disaster Recovery Area, as defined in section 4 of this local law; or (ii) have been located in a building that, after Hurricane Sandy, was assigned a red, yellow or green placard by the Department of Buildings; or (iii) have been a vehicle.
   b.   On or prior to October 31, 2013 the owner of the business must apply to the mayor or his or her designee for a determination of eligibility for waiver of applicable fees pursuant to this local law on forms and in a manner to be prescribed by the mayor or his or her designee. The owner must submit written certification signed by such owner or such other documentation as may be required by the mayor or his or her designee, confirming that: (i) the space occupied by such business or the vehicle required for the operation of such business suffered substantial damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy that has interfered significantly with and that continues to interfere significantly with the operation of such business in the manner in which it operated prior to Hurricane Sandy; and (ii) the business currently occupies or intends to re-occupy space in the same building that it occupied prior to Hurricane Sandy or in a new building within the same Business Recovery Zone, or intends to replace a vehicle required for the operation of the business that was rendered inoperable as a result of Hurricane Sandy.
§ 3. The owner of the business shall present the approved eligibility application to the applicable agency to obtain the fee waiver. The fee waiver may be granted only for eligible fees that would otherwise be payable by such business on or prior to December 31, 2013. An agency may refund fees paid by an eligible business after October 26, 2012 and prior to the effective date of this local law provided that an application for such refund is made to the agency on or prior to May 31, 2013.
§ 4. For the purposes of this local law the term Disaster Recovery Area means:

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the provision of sick time earned by employees.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Legislative intent. The City Council finds that nearly every worker at some time during each year will need time off from work to take care of his or her health needs or the health needs of family members. Providing the right to earned sick time will therefore have a positive effect on the public health of the City and lessen the spread of and exposure to diseases. The Council further finds that supporting a healthy workforce will foster greater employee retention and productivity, and recognizes that responsible businesses that already have policies that allow time off that amounts to at least the minimum requirements under this law, and that can be taken for the same reasons and under the same conditions as enumerated in this legislation, will not be required to provide additional sick time. Providing sick time to workers at a time when the economy is improving, and ensuring that workers' jobs are protected when they need to take a sick day, strikes the right balance and will result in a more prosperous, safe and healthy City.

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

§ 4. Effect of invalidity; severability. If any section, subdivision, paragraph, 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 continue in full force and effect.
§ 5. Independent Budget Office report. Pursuant to section 260 of the New York City Charter, no later than thirty months after employers with twenty or more employees are required to provide sick time to employees pursuant to section 3 of this local law, the Independent Budget office ("IBO") shall report to the Mayor and the Council and post on its website a report presenting data related to the costs and benefits of the Earned Sick Time Act. Such report shall include to the extent practicable given available data and methodologies, but not be limited to, data regarding wage and employment rates; businesses, including small business start-up and failure rates, expenses and revenues; and infectious disease rates; and shall include to the extent practicable a comparison of New York City with surrounding counties and large cities comparable to New York City that do not provide sick time. When reporting this data, the IBO director shall ensure that IBO uses appropriate and professionally accepted methodologies for comparing similar data and identify such methodologies in the report, and shall clearly specify the extent to which the earned sick time act can properly be determined to have had an impact on any of the data analyzed. The report shall be contingent on the availability to IBO of data the IBO director determines to be necessary to complete such report. The IBO director shall be authorized to secure such information, data, estimates and statistics from the agencies of the City as the director determines to be necessary in the preparation of such report, and such agencies shall provide such information to the extent that it is available in a timely fashion.
§ 6. Independent Budget Office review and determination. On December 16, 2013, the Independent Budget Office shall submit to the Council and the Mayor and post on its website a determination stating whether the most recent New York City Coincident Economic Index or similar successor index as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Index") is at or above its January 2012 level. If such determination states that the Index is below its January 2012 level, the IBO shall make and submit a determination every June 16 and December 16 of each year thereafter, until it determines that the Index is at or above its January 2012 level.
§ 7. This local law shall take effect pursuant to the following schedule:

   (3)   If on June 16, 2014, the Index is not at or above its January 2012 level, but on December 16, 2014, the Index is at or above its January 2012 level as determined by the IBO, then:
      (a)   all employers that employ twenty or more employees must comply with the provisions of this local law on April 1, 2015;
      (b)   all employers that employ fifteen to nineteen employees or a domestic worker must comply with the provisions of this local law regarding paid sick time on October 1, 2016; and
