BILL NUMBER:A10273 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to distributing unsolicited advertising on private property in cities with a population of one million or more PURPOSE: The subject legislation amends Section 397-a of the General Business Law to delete the necessity of lawn litter being placed on two or more premises to constitute a violation of this section. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Each violation of the General Business Law, Section 397-a shall be returnable to the environmental control board and a civil penalty of not less than $250 nor more than $100 shall be imposed for each violation. Any civil penalties collected shall be paid into the general fund of the City. In addition, any person who has material placed on his or her property on three separate occasions by the same person may bring an action in a court competent jurisdiction to enjoin such practice, an action for damages or $500 whichever is greater, or both. JUSTIFICATION: New York City residents are being deluged with unwanted advertisement and solicitations callously dumped on their doorsteps, in their lobbies and in their vestibules, despite signs that they don't want these items placed on their property, residents continue to be inundated.
