✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would officially write into New York City law what the Staten Island borough flag looks like and make it legally official. While this legislation specifically deals with Staten Island's flag, it doesn't directly impact residents in District 40 (Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood in Brooklyn). The bill is currently being reviewed by a City Council committee.
