City Council to Monitor Business' COVID Safety Efforts

City Council to Monitor Business’ COVID Safety Efforts

A bill sponsored by New York City Councilmembers; Miller, Rosenthal, Louis, Rivera, and Barron would establish a new board to review the adherence to workplace health and safety protocols.

The board would hold two public hearings a year to solicit testimony from employees, relevant experts, and stakeholders and make recommendations on protocols for future public health emergencies. The board would then submit a final report with recommendations pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic and recommendations on health and safety protocols for future public health emergencies to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council by December 15, 2021.

This bill is on the Mayor’s desk for signature, and if signed, will take effect immediately.
