Signage describing certain constitutional and legal protections.

This bill would require the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) to develop signage that clearly describes the provisions enacted in the sections of the Administrative Code of the City of New York pertaining to access to city property and immigration enforcement. The signage would also incorporate know-your-rights material drafted by MOIA. MOIA would prepare the signage in plain language, translate it into multiple languages, and make it available to city agencies. Each covered agency would conspicuously post the signage in at least one centralized location in all city property under its jurisdiction. Covered agencies would clearly identify which areas of such city property are non-public. MOIA would conduct outreach regarding the contents of the signage and report to the speaker of the council regarding its community outreach efforts. Additionally, the New York City Department of Education (DOE) would make available age-appropriate versions of signage describing DOE’s policies regarding access to school property and participation in or assistance with immigration enforcement. DOE would report to the mayor and the speaker of the council regarding where it has posted the required signage.
