Clarifying the health code where approvals from multiple agencies are required.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to clarifying the health code where approvals from multiple agencies are required

This bill would require that, where the Health Code requires licenses, approvals, or permits from multiple agencies, the Board of Health must coordinate as needed with the relevant agencies to determine which approvals are needed and the order in which they must be obtained. In addition, this information must be outlined in the relevant Health Code provisions. This bill would not change agencies’ existing authority to issue licenses, approvals, or permits.
