The mayor allowed this bill to become law this week without signing it. The law requires NYC schools to report every two years on how many students have home internet and devices, breaking down data by school district and including student feedback on technology barriers. Schools will survey families to gather this information starting January 2027.

This bill creates safety rules for home battery systems (like solar battery backups) by letting small systems skip strict remote monitoring if they meet safety standards, while speeding up permits for medium-sized systems. It also sets up an advisory board to help the city manage residential energy storage safely.

This bill would require all NYC city vehicles and city-contracted vehicles to have functioning AM radio receivers within 12 months. Agencies could request exemptions if the requirement would disrupt public safety or health services. The city would track compliance and report annually to the Council.

This bill creates a new 311 complaint category for SNAP theft, allowing New Yorkers to report stolen EBT cards and fraudulent purchases through the city's service center. The city would track these complaints, share data with the Department of Social Services, and provide affected residents with information about emergency food programs and SNAP resources.

This bill would require NYC agencies to use email as the default method for sending official notices to residents—like hearing dates, fines, and benefit decisions—when they have an email address on file. Agencies would need to actively collect email addresses in application forms and establish systems to send notices digitally, though residents can opt out if they provide alternate contact information.

This bill would require companies collecting data on 20,000+ NYC residents to be transparent about what personal and sensitive information they gather, get explicit permission before using it for AI training or sharing sensitive data, and let residents request deletion or opt out. Companies that violate these rules could face penalties.

This bill requires the city to study whether it can create 20 new tech jobs in city government that only require an associate's degree or vocational training instead of a bachelor's degree. The study would examine costs, benefits, and how many New Yorkers could qualify for these positions.

The Mayor returned this bill unsigned this week, which means it automatically became law. The bill requires the Parks Department to create and maintain an interactive online map showing NYC's public swimming pools, including their locations, hours, programs, and any planned maintenance or construction that might affect access.

A bill requiring the Department of Education to report on student home internet and device access became law this week after the Mayor did not sign it. Starting January 2027, DOE must report every two years on how many students have broadband at home, electronic devices, and access to virtual learning—broken down by school district—to identify and help close the digital divide.

The Mayor allowed this bill to become law without signing it this week. The NYPD must now post detailed data on all criminal complaints and arrests dating back to 2007 on its website, including offense type, suspect/victim demographics, location, and arrest outcomes. The data will be updated every six months.

This bill requires the Department of Buildings to conduct final inspections of major solar energy projects (25+ kilowatts) instead of allowing private approved agencies to do the work. It ensures city oversight of larger solar installations to verify they're safe and meet code requirements before operation.
