What it does
This bill would restrict general vending on a portion of Fordham Road over the next 5 years to those who hold licenses specifically allowing them to vend there. The department of consumer and worker protection would be required to publish a report on the number of vendors who operate on Fordham Road and would be permitted to issue licenses for vending on Fordham Road following that study.
