Summary

This bill would direct the Commissioner of Consumer and Worker Protection to establish and implement an ongoing outreach and education program for New York City residents about scams related to Hajj and Umrah. The outreach and education would address fraudulent offers of travel, accommodation, and catering services and visas, and involve recommendation of practices for identifying fraud and booking related services. The involved agency heads would have to, at a minimum, develop and update informational materials and distribute them to the public and post them online.
