Under this council, we have committed to resolving these problems, holding hearings every year and passing various pieces of legislation including local law one sixty nine of 2023, which mandated a comprehensive study on the time required to complete the city's procurement process for human service contracts.

We also passed local law 31 of 2024, which created a secure electronic document vault for procurement related documents to reduce duplicative paperwork and local law 105 of 2024, which requires city agencies to provide contractors with a written explanation when denying approval of a subcontractor upon their request.
