Council Member Amanda Farías inquires about the potential impact of Intro 1251 on addressing the gap between license applications released and licenses issued for supervisory roles in street vending. Corinne Schiff from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene explains their current practices and discusses how Intro 1251 might complement other proposed legislation like Intro 431.
- The Department is already reissuing unsubmitted license applications to the next person on the waiting list.
- Combining Intro 1251 with Intro 431 could result in more supervisory license applications being issued.
- It's hypothesized that this combination could lead to more supervisory licenses being obtained.

I just wanted to go back if possible to the supervisory license applications.
0:53:26
I see in the testimony you are open to introduction twelve fifty one.
0:53:31
You don't see any initial problems or you know concerns around it.
0:53:38
Do you think it would help address the gap between the license applications released and the license issued every

result more like Except not at a necessary accelerated rate, right?
0:54:20
At the very least putting in some sort of timelines other than the ninety days for reissue to communicate with the folks that have maybe are only the holders and not moving towards getting the license?

I don't know, because we are essentially already we had the same idea that you did.
0:53:54
So we are already really doing that.
0:53:57
We will issue the license application.
0:54:01
If it's not submitted for a supervisory license, then we will reissue it to the next person on the waiting list.
0:54:09
So we're already creating those opportunities.
0:54:12
So know whether it would
0:54:35
So I think that there are there are the bills complement each other, and 04/31 would have us, in the first instance, issue more supervisory license applications.
0:54:44
So if we put them together, more supervisory license applications would be issued.
0:54:51
I think it's a good hypothesis that more would become supervisory licenses.
