Creating a website to produce and sign petitions seeking particular actions by city government.
Status: Committee Committee on Technology
Sponsored by Christopher Marte
Introduced: March 7, 2024

This bill would require the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) to establish and maintain a website for the public to petition city government. Once a petition reaches a threshold of electronic signatures it will be submitted to the appropriate agency for review and response. DoITT would also be required to report on agency responses to public petitions and issue an annual report to the Council on the petitions transmitted to each agency, along with the agency response, if any.
