Bill > S01146

This bill removes the eight-year time limitation on judgments entered by the New York City Environmental Control Board (ECB). Currently, judgments issued by the ECB have an expiration period of eight years, after which they become invalid. By repealing the specific subparagraph in section 1049-a of the New York City Charter, the bill eliminates this time restriction, which means that ECB judgments will now remain in effect indefinitely. The Environmental Control Board is a quasi-judicial administrative tribunal that handles environmental code violations and other related infractions in New York City. The bill is straightforward, consisting of two sections: the first repealing the eight-year limitation provision, and the second specifying that the act will take effect immediately upon enactment.
