Bill > A04196

This bill amends the New York General Municipal Law to prohibit public agencies from providing funds, financial incentives, or subsidies for facilities or properties that are primarily used for e-commerce (electronic commerce) storage, transfers, or related facilitation activities. Specifically, the bill adds a new subdivision to existing law that prevents municipal agencies from supporting projects centered on e-commerce infrastructure. E-commerce refers to business transactions conducted online, such as storing and shipping goods purchased through internet platforms. By restricting financial support for such facilities, the bill appears aimed at limiting public investment in warehouses, distribution centers, or other properties primarily dedicated to online retail logistics. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment, meaning municipal agencies would be required to comply with the new restriction as soon as the bill becomes law.
