A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to light-emitting diode bulbs in street lamps.

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

                     Section 1.  Subchapter 1 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-125.1 to read as follows:

                     § 19-125.1  Light-emitting diode street lamps.  a.  For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

1.                     “Decorative street lamp” shall mean a collectible lamp, under the jurisdiction of the department, supported by a lamppost and used to illuminate a street or other public area, representing a former period and valued for its age, rarity, condition, or other unique feature.                                            

2.  “Light-emitting diode bulb” shall mean a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electric current is applied. 

                     3.  “Street lamp” shall mean a lamp, under the jurisdiction of the department, supported by a lamppost and used to illuminate a street or other public area.

                      b.  Within one year of the effective date of the local law that added this section, the department shall install light-emitting diode bulbs in all street lamps or replace any street lamps that are incapable of accommodating light-emitting diode bulbs with street lamps using such bulbs; provided, however, that decorative street lamps, as designated by the commissioner, shall not be subject to the requirements of this section. 

                     § 2.  This local law shall take effect thirty days after it is enacted into law.
