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

Set standards for lithium-ion batteries. (A.4938-B/A.5310/A.4938-B/S.154-C and A.5310/S.157)
