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

Establish a camera enforcement program to enforce a state law which prohibits motorists from blocking the intersection and crosswalk, known as the “Don’t Block the Box” Law.
