Introduction Currently, the Administrative Code requires the removal of disused, abandoned, or damaged utility poles. The penalty for violation is a fine of $250 to $500 and/or imprisonment of up to 10 days. The bill would raise the fine for failure to remove a utility pole when required to $350 to $750 and provide that a person in violation may also be subject to civil penalties of $100 per day that they are in violation of the Code.     Action details Not available       ~coupled             Not available T2014-0002 *   ~coupled GO Commissioner of Deeds Commissioner of Deeds       Action details Not available                   Pass Not available       13.             Video       14.             Video       15.             Video Res 1373-2017 * Melissa Mark-Viverito   Preconsidered - Adopted by the Committee on Finance Authorizing the Speaker to file or join amicus briefs on behalf of the Council in litigation challenging any of President Donald Trump’s executive orders and actions relating to immigration.

Referred to Comm by Council   Action details Not available Int 1469-2017 * Laurie A. Cumbo ~SPONSOR Women's Issues Requiring that city-owned buildings and spaces with specific occupancy classifications contain lactation rooms. Introduction This law will ensure that city-owned buildings and spaces with specific occupancy classifications (those typically used as places of assembly) will have available at least one lactation room for individuals who are otherwise authorized to be at the location. This bill expands on local law number 94 for the year 2016 in that it requires more lactation rooms in more locations. More spaces are needed to accommodate women who are breast feeding (or expressing milk for later use) and want privacy and sanitary conditions. Women in places of assembly often need to stay for a long period of time and therefore need to express milk in order to maintain a steady supply and relieve discomfort.
