Int. No. 230-A

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to increasing the rate of tax on cigarettes.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

* * *

§ 3. Every dealer of cigarettes, including agents licensed to purchase and affix stamps, shall take a physical inventory of all cigarettes possessed in the city as of the close of business on July 1, 2002. In addition, every dealer who is a licensed agent shall take a physical inventory of all unaffixed cigarette tax stamps possessed as of the close of business on such date. In the event that it is not possible to take a physical inventory of cigarettes in all vending machines that are located within the city, a dealer may take as many physical inventories of the contents of such machines as is possible with available personnel. For those machines that cannot be physically inventoried on July 1, 2002, cigarettes may be accounted for at one-half the normal fill capacities of such machines, as reflected in the individual inventory records maintained for such machines.

§ 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the tax due on cigarettes possessed in the city of New York, as of the close of business on July 1, 2002, by any person for sale solely attributable to the increase imposed by this local law, may be paid in two installments, due on the twentieth days of September, 2002 and January, 2003, subject to such terms and conditions as the department of finance may prescribe; provided, however, no less than 25 percent of each such tax due shall be paid by September 20, 2002.

Int. No. 201-A

By Council Member McMahon (at the request of the Mayor)

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the collection of designated recyclable materials.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the short term suspension of glass, plastic, and beverage cartons recycling is necessary at this time on an emergency basis due to the budget deficit arising out of the September 11 tragedy and the accompanying economic downturn. This temporary suspension does not change, amend, modify or repeal the goals or purposes of Local Law 19 of 1989. The Council reaffirms and reiterates its full declaration of legislative intent and findings of Local Law 19 of 1989.

The Council finds that the City is faced with a solid waste management crisis and must find innovative ways to reduce the amount of solid waste sent to out-of-state landfills. The Council declares its unyielding commitment to provide the residents of the City with an environmentally sound, efficient and viable recycling program. During this temporary suspension period, a joint task force will be created to develop a plan to implement a more environmentally sound, effective and viable recycling program. The Council finds that the Mayor and Council must work together to ensure that the recycling program removes as much recyclable material from the solid waste stream as possible.
