What this can and cannot do

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

Allow municipalities and localities that have a senior citizen rent increase exemption program to establish an automatic enrollment program. (S.2220/A.5232)
