The heading above is this same sentence with its legal opening removed. No words were added, changed or reordered.
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.
