Committee: Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management
The Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management held a brief meeting to vote on Introduction 906-A, sponsored by the chair, which would require the Department of Sanitation, upon receiving seven or more credible complaints of dog waste on the same City block within a seven-day period, to dispatch employees within 14 days to evaluate the block and enforce applicable prohibitions against animal waste in public spaces. The bill was previously heard alongside other Scoop Act bills on a date rendered as "nineteenth 20 26," with testimony from the Department of Sanitation and members of the public. The committee approved the item by a vote of 11 in the affirmative, 0 in the negative, with no abstentions, and the chair closed the meeting.
