Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

                     Section 1.  Subchapter 1 of chapter 2 of title 3 of the administrative code of the city of New York shall be amended by adding a new section 3-206.1 to read as follows:

§3-206.1.  City clerk; city charter and administrative code.  The city clerk shall maintain a compilation of the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, as each may be amended, and shall make those compilations available on or through the official city of New York web site in an indexed and searchable format.  Such compilations shall be revised to reflect amendments to the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, respectively, within two weeks of the enactment of any amendment.  Such compilations shall not be official compilations, nor shall they be deemed certified or authenticated copies of local law.

                     §2.  This local law shall take effect one hundred eighty days after its enactment into law, except that the city clerk and the department of information technology and telecommunication shall take such measures as are necessary to implement its provisions prior to the effective date.
