Int. No. 611
By Council Member Pinkett (by request of the Mayor); also Council Member Marshall
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to residence requirements for certain city employees who have been employed at work sites outside the city.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Subdivision b of section 12-121 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by local law number 40 for the year 1986, is amended to read as follows:
b. City residence shall not be required as a condition of employment for:
(1) persons appointed to the position of chaplain; or
(2) employees whose regular work site is outside the city; or
(3) employees who have performed functions at a regular work site outside the city, where the city has reduced or terminated, or is in the process of reducing or terminating, the direct performance by city employees of such functions at such site, and the city seeks to transfer, reassign, or appoint such employees to positions located within the city. This paragraph shall apply only where the commissioner of citywide administrative services finds that it is in the public interest to waive the residence requirement for reasons including, but not limited to, facilitating the operations of the affected agency or agencies or furthering the interests of employee relations.
§2. This local law shall take effect immediately.
