If it's passed, the legislation from Councilmember Lincoln Restler would go into effect immediately.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial policy requiring other elected officials to fill out a multipage online form to interact with members of his administration and request certain resources from city agencies could be on its way out.
Restler told Gothamist that his bill would stop Adams from continuing to “politicize when city agencies are allowed to work with elected officials.” It’s the latest development in the tug-of-war between Adams and local lawmakers — primarily members of the City Council — that kicked off when the mayor and his aides first started requiring the form in April.urging Adams to scrap the policy, while others exchanged tense words with one of his senior advisers during a Council hearing at City Hall. Some lawmakers have said they’ve simply refused to use the form and are contacting agencies and their leaders as normal.
