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

Require the establishment of a composting program at dormitories, dining facilities, and other facilities owned, occupied, or operated. (S.2285)
