New York City Council
This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor 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
Set standards for lithium-ion batteries used in specific electric mobility devices. (A.4938-B and A.5310, A.4938-B/S.154-C, A.5310/S.157)
