Using micromobility dynamometers to test micromobility devices operating in the city

This law would require the NYPD, working with the Department of Transportation, to use special testing devices called dynamometers to check whether e-bikes, e-scooters, and other small motorized vehicles are too powerful or too fast to legally operate on NYC streets. Officers could only perform these tests if they already have a good reason to suspect a device is illegal. The city would also need to publicly report data collected from these tests.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to offering community service in lieu of civil penalties for certain littering violations

This bill would allow people who receive fines for littering or improper garbage disposal near their building to complete community service instead of paying the penalty. Judges would be required to offer this community service option as an alternative to paying fines.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to the creation of a three-digit gun violence intervention hotline

This law would set up an easy-to-dial, three-digit hotline to connect New Yorkers — especially young people — with mental health support and other services aimed at preventing gun violence. The city would also run public awareness campaigns so residents know the hotline exists. Each year, the city must report on how well the hotline is working to help people get the services they need.

Creating a department of community safety

This law would establish a new city agency called the Department of Community Safety, focused on keeping New Yorkers safe through a broader approach than traditional policing. The department would coordinate with emergency responders, social workers, and public health officials to respond to crises and deliver services to vulnerable residents. The goal is to build safer, healthier communities by addressing safety needs in a more holistic way.
