Intro. 452 Restores Fairness and Choice for DC 37 Members

The New York City Council has introduced a local law – Intro. 452 – to eliminate the residency requirement for DC 37 members. Intro. 452 would amend the current law to allow DC 37 members to live in the six counties surrounding New York City – Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester.

Please call your City Council member and Council Speaker Christine Quinn TODAY at 212-788-7100. Ask them to support quick passage of Intro. 452. If you don't know your Council member, click here or call DC 37's Political Action and Legislation Dept. at 212-815-1550 to get the name and number.
