A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring the department of cultural affairs to report on access of low-income households to cultural institutions and to develop a plan to improve access

This bill would require the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) to provide annual reports and develop a plan on the access of low-income households to cultural institutions in New York City. The reports would include the efforts DCLA and cultural institutions have made to improve access, data regarding such access and any challenges with access and the efforts to address such challenges. The plan would include recommendations regarding how to improve access and how DCLA will implement such recommendations. DCLA would provide the report and plan to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council and post it online on its website.
