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

Establishing coordination mechanisms between the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
