A law new (or bill) is a legislative proposal to create or change an existing rule or regulation. The lawmaker that proposes the bill may come up with the idea for it, or the concept might be suggested by constituents during an election campaign or by a group calling for the legislation. The lawmaker then submits the bill to Congress or another legislative body for consideration and debate. The lawmaker can then choose to sign the bill into law, veto it or allow it to pass without his or her signature. Signed bills become law; vetoed bills are not laws, but if the legislature does not override the Governor’s veto, the bill becomes a law automatically.
Property law is a wide-ranging field that covers ownership and possession of land, real and personal property. Real property encompasses the land and anything attached to it, whereas personal property includes everything else such as rights in intellectual properties, stocks or shares. Property law is also concerned with a number of different statutory systems for registering land, as well as mortgages and other types of security.

NYC 2305-A – Licensing third-party food delivery services
This bill amends City law to require third-party food delivery services to register with the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP).

This bill also expands the obligation for DCWP and City agencies to promptly report to affected persons when private identifying information is breached or disclosed.
