Official titleShow
Resolution calling on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, legislation prohibiting the issuance of police courtesy cards
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.
Summary
Prohibiting the issuance of police courtesy cards.
