A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting the city of New York from contracting with entities engaged in immigration enforcement

Summary

This local law, Int. No. 261, sponsored by Council Member Krishnan, prohibits New York City from entering into contracts with entities engaged in immigration enforcement. The law amends the administrative code by adding a new section, 6-122, which states that the city shall not provide goods or services to such entities in return for payment. This prohibition applies to all contracts in effect on or after the law's effective date, which is 60 days after it becomes law. The bill also applies to current contracts.

Citizen Impact

This law will prevent the city from contracting with organizations involved in immigration enforcement, potentially impacting services or goods the city might otherwise provide to these entities. Residents may see a shift in how city resources are allocated away from supporting immigration enforcement activities.
