New York, NY – City Council s Small Business Committee is holding a hearing today at 1 p.m. on two bills providing civil penalty relief for small businesses, who for too long have been subjected to onerous fines from New York City. After conducting a year-long review of the extensive network of rules and regulations that apply to the City s small businesses, the Council drafted legislation to permanently update more than 180 laws and to provide immediate relief to businesses by refunding unnecessary fines.
Subscribe Small businesses have waited years for meaningful relief from fines. I m proud that the Council took the lead in doing a truly comprehensive look at our laws to see how we can help. This has been a problem for decades, but there s a renewed urgency now because of the pandemic. These businesses are suffering, and it s on us to do everything we can,
