Repealing the call up provision following the granting of base station licenses.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to repealing the call up provision following the granting of base station licenses.

The Administrative Code provides that any determination by the TLC to approve an application for a license to operate a new base station or to renew a license to operate a base station must be subject to review by the Council. However, in 1999, a New York Supreme Court ruled that such a review process- known as a “call up” - impermissibly curtails the authority of the Mayor. The bill would repeal this section of the Code as it has effectively been null and void since the aforementioned decision.
