New York City Council
This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the United States Congress to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.
Summary
Eliminate the authority of the Department of Defense to transfer surplus military property to federal, state and local agencies for law enforcement activities.
