Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1.  Section 617 of the New York City charter is amended to add a new subdivision c to read as follows:

c.   No agency practice, including but not limited to any tracking system, record keeping or reporting system or data collection system or device, may prejudice the rights of, stigmatize or otherwise harm a person because of his or her gender or relationship to a child or children involved in a child protective matter.  To the extent that requirements of this subdivision are subject to state approval, the agency will request permission to make any changes in policy necessary to comply with the provisions of this subdivision within ninety days of the effective date of the local law that added this subdivision.  The agency shall promulgate such rules as are necessary for the purposes of implementing and carrying out the provisions of this subdivision.  

§ 2. This local law shall take effect ninety days after its enactment.
