It would also permit, with certain conditions, those who are subject to judgments as a result of a finding by the ECB that they were in violation to resolve those judgments by paying 75 percent of the imposed penalty and having the accrued interest waived. After the conclusion of the temporary program, for any judgment that arose from a default decision that was eligible to be resolved as part of the temporary program, the Department of Finance would not be permitted to resolve such judgment by accepting payment of anything less than half of the default penalty and accrued interest.

This bill would also require an agency that issues a generic notice to make reasonable efforts to learn the respondent’s name after issuing the notice. Finally, the bill would provide that where a default decision is rendered on a generic notice and the judgment is given to the Department of Finance for collection, the Commissioner of Finance must make reasonable efforts to learn the respondent’s name.

The bill would clarify that such agencies would not be limited to the considerations required by the bill and may consider any additional factors in making a determination. The bill would exempt agencies that have adopted a rule or policy prior to the effective date of the bill that substantially meets the requirements of the bill. The bill would also require agencies to provide an annual report to the Council including the number of applications received; the number denied pursuant to such rules; the number of licenses, permits or registrations suspended, terminated or revoked; and list of the types of licenses, permits or registrations issued by such agency and the time period for which such licenses, permits or registrations are issued.

Additionally, the bill would require the Department of Finance to assist HPD in determining certain financial information about covered multiple dwellings.

Referred to Comm by Council   Action details Not available Int 1154-2016 * Mark Treyger ~SPONSOR Recovery and Resiliency Creation of a displaced persons registry. Introduction This bill would require the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to create a website through which persons that are displaced, or out of communication, because of an emergency event can let others know where they are and how they are doing. After an emergency, people may be residing in evacuation centers, the residences of friends and family, or elsewhere. This website would provide a mechanism for letting a person make it be publicly known that they survived the emergency, and would allow them to privately share password-protected additional information, such as their current location and contact information. Only visitors to the website who knew the password would be able to view the additional information. Visitors to the website would be able to sign up for an e-mail notification whenever a person with a specified name registered for the website. The bill would also require OEM to make information on the website available in all evacuation shelters and include it in their public awareness materials.

Referred to Comm by Council   Action details Not available Int 1156-2016 * James G. Van Bramer ~SPONSOR Environmental Protection Requiring the posting of current and planned water supply outages to the city’s website and to the website of the dept of environmental protection. Introduction This bill would require the online posting of notifications about current and planned water service outages on the city’s website as well as the website of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Currently, real-time information about water outages is generally not provided online. Complaints to 311 are logged but no other information is provided in the normal course of business about planned or emergency outages and estimated times for service restoration. The proposed law would address this problem but would not replace DEP’s current practice of posting flyers in affected areas.
