Bill > S05271

This bill requires the New York Secretary of State to establish a "cease and desist zone" covering 29 specific zip codes within the Bronx county and Mount Vernon in Westchester county within 90 days of the act's effective date. These zip codes include all zip codes from 10451 to 10475 in the Bronx and 10550 to 10553 in Mount Vernon. The cease and desist zone will be effective for five years, with the possibility of the Secretary of State re-adopting the rule to extend the zone. While the bill does not provide extensive details about the specific implications of a "cease and desist zone," it appears to be a legal mechanism under New York's real property law (section 442-h) that likely imposes certain restrictions or regulations on property or business activities within these designated areas. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
