The Council writes and passes local laws that affect the day-to-day lives of people living in, working in, or visiting New York City. Local laws can impact the lives of New Yorkers in many ways, both large and small.

The City Council will not play pre-recorded video testimony from members of the public at our hearings. The City Council only accepts written testimony submitted in a commonly available file format (including .doc, .rtf, .txt and.pdf) up to 72 hours after the hearing has been closed.

Similar to Congress at the federal level, we are New York City’s legislative body. The Council is separate from the Mayor’s administration but an equal partner in how our City is run.

The New York City Council's official website provides access to information on legislation and council activities.

The Council has standing committees that practice oversight of New York City functions, including human services, infrastructure, and government affairs. Each committee is headed by a Council Member (the Chair), includes at least five members, and meets at least once a month.
