Newsrack requirements and to repeal and replace subdivision a of section 19-128.1 of such code.
Sponsored by Erik D. Bottcher
Introduced: March 19, 2024

The proposed legislation would empower the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish standards regarding the size, shape, and materials used to construct newsracks, and to restrict newsracks from being placed too closely to certain infrastructure located on sidewalks. This bill would further require DOT to provide notice to owners of any changed obligations imposed by this bill or DOT rules governing newsracks. Such notice would be required in English and the language of the publication distributed at the newsrack, if it is a language other than English.
