NYC Council Passes Legislation Confronting the City’s Ongoing Maternal Health Crisis, Advancing Solutions from Steering Committee Established by Speaker Adams

Council also approved historic Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, delivering nearly 12,000 new homes in one of NYC's largest neighborhood rezonings in over two decades

City Hall - Today, the New York City Council passed a package of legislation to address the City's maternal mortality crisis and its racial disparities, advancing policy solutions that emerged from the Council's Maternal Health Steering Committee established by Speaker Adrienne Adams. The Council also approved the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, one of the largest neighborhood rezonings in over 20 years, which will deliver nearly 12,000 new homes in Southeast Queens and $413 million in new community and infrastructure investments. Additionally, the Council passed bills that would require the City to annually track the number of vacant New York City Housing Authority units, provide greater assistance to small businesses, and develop a training program for first responders on how to recognize and respond to traumatic brain injuries.

"A year after sounding the alarm on maternal mortality and its severe racial disparities as a public health emergency, we all must continue the important work to end its devastating toll on our communities," said Speaker Adrienne Adams. "The Maternal Health Steering Committee's report, alongside legislation we passed today and throughout the last four years, marks a critical step towards addressing the deeply entrenched, systemic inequities that continue to unnecessarily claim the lives of mothers. I am proud of the work our women-majority, historically diverse City Council has taken to prioritize maternal health like never before, harnessing the collective power and political will of stakeholders across our city and state to confront this issue with the urgency and empathy it demands. The Steering Committee's hard work and insights pave a path forward for the health and safety of our families. It is incumbent on future city leaders, providers, and all stakeholders to sustain this focus on ending maternal mortality."

"Jamaica is a thriving and vibrant community, whose success is pivotal to the prosperity of Southeast Queens and our entire city," added Speaker Adams. "The Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, the largest neighborhood rezoning in over two decades, will deliver tens of thousands of new homes and homeownership opportunities, thousands of new jobs, and essential community investments to improve our sewer infrastructure, parks, access to health care, cultural institutions, public and higher education, and quality of life. This level of neighborhood investment, housing affordability, and targeted commitments would not have been possible without the City Council's direct role in the land use process to negotiate and secure community needs. Through this entire community planning process, led by Council Member Williams, the Steering Committee, and local stakeholders, we have shaped this rezoning that will guide Jamaica's continued transformation into a residential, commercial, and transportation hub for local residents and all New Yorkers. I thank my Council colleagues for their partnership to approve this neighborhood rezoning that will benefit our Southeast Queens community and the entire city for generations to come."

Combating Maternal Mortality

In New York City, between 50 and 60 women and birthing people lose their life during pregnancy or within one year from the end of pregnancy. Black New Yorkers are six times more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes compared to white New Yorkers. These disparities are a product of medical and structural racism that leave Black women, communities of color, and low-income New Yorkers without access to adequate health care and medical treatment, while experiencing stressors that perpetuate severe disparities in health outcomes.

Last October, in response to Bevorlin Garcia Barrios' death at NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull, Speaker Adrienne Adams delivered an emergency speech calling maternal mortality an urgent public health emergency. In February, Speaker Adams convened the Maternal Health Steering Committee, consisting of a group of advocates, medical providers, union leaders, and elected officials, to advance coordinated action steps that combat these severe racial disparities in maternal health. The following legislation stems from this collaborative effort and aims to improve maternal health outcomes across the city.

Introduction 1001-A, sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, would require the creation of a multilingual automated text message system that can send parents and guardians reminders and guidance about their children's health and development, including information like recommended medical checkups, vaccination schedules, and deadlines for early childhood education and public school enrollment.

"We know what works-clear, direct communication that meets families where they are. Parents shouldn't have to sift through bureaucratic emails to keep up with their child's milestones," said Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. "TXT4KIDS uses common-sense technology to make sure every parent has the information they need to help their child grow, learn, and succeed - in the language that they need."

Introduction 1146-A, sponsored by Majority Whip Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to maintain a Newborn Home Visiting Program that offers free in-person and virtual visits from social workers, nurses, and lactation professionals to new parents during the first 12 weeks postpartum. The program would be expanded over time to reach neighborhoods with significant health and socioeconomic disparities, known as priority neighborhoods.

"Every new parent deserves access to care and support during those first critical weeks after birth," said Majority Whip Selvena N. Brooks-Powers. "Expanding the Newborn Home Visiting Program will help ensure that families, especially in communities facing the greatest health disparities, have the resources they need to thrive. I am proud to stand with my colleagues in advancing Intro 1146 and building a healthier, more equitable city for all New Yorkers."

Introduction 1284-A, sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, would require DOHMH to implement an education campaign for health professionals who provide care and support to patients during and after pregnancy-including doctors, nurses, midwives, and doulas-about the safe use of medications to treat opioid use disorder. The campaign would focus on providing information on the benefits of using opioid agonist therapies during pregnancy and explain the risks of withdrawal for the birthing person, fetus, and newborn. It would also include guidance from professional medical organizations and the New York State Department of Health, as well as recommendations on culturally and linguistically appropriate communication as well as how to access opioid overdose reversal medications at no cost in the city. Additionally, it would require DOHMH to make opioid antagonists available to the public for free at the City's Neighborhood Health Action Centers, together with training on how to use the medications safely.

"This Council has put maternal mortality front and center. We're not afraid to be honest and have painful conversations when needed to put an end to these preventable deaths" said Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. "This is a harm reduction bill, a maternal health bill, a common sense public health bill, and it's one that will save lives, especially for the pregnant New Yorkers who have been suffering in silence and ignored because of stigmas that might exist"

Introduction 1285-A, sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, would require the DOHMH Commissioner to establish a program to provide free doula services to people in marginalized neighborhoods in all five boroughs, to train individuals to become doulas, and to help certain maternity hospitals to foster a doula friendly environment.

"This is what it means to build public health with equity at the center," said Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. "We are saying, as a city, that safe births are not a luxury. Every Black and Brown mother, every immigrant mother, every low-income mother deserves a trained advocate in the room, and we're making that a right - not a pilot, not a grant, not a maybe. Permanent."

Introduction 1393-A, sponsored by Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala, would require DOHMH to provide information to the public and non-obstetric healthcare providers on healthy living, nutrition, and managing chronic diseases during and after pregnancy.

"Access to clear, reliable information is essential to supporting women and birthing people during and after pregnancy," said Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala. "By ensuring pregnant New Yorkers and their health care providers have access to guidance on healthy living and managing chronic conditions, we can improve outcomes for mothers across our city. Introduction 1393-A strengthens our commitment to empowering New Yorkers with the knowledge and resources they need to lead healthy lives."

Resolution 64-B, sponsored by Council Member Tiffany Cabán, would call upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.3359/A.1691, legislation that enables community health centers to be fully reimbursed for telehealth care services.

"I am proud today that the council is passing my Resolution 64, which urges the New York State Legislature to enact legislation enabling community health centers to be fully reimbursed for telehealth care services," said Council Member Tiffany Cabán. "Community health centers are lifelines for working-class New Yorkers, immigrants, and families of color. Telehealth proved during the pandemic that it saves lives and removes barriers to care. We should be expanding access, not cutting it off."

Resolution 867-A, sponsored by Speaker Adrienne Adams, would call on the New York State Assembly to pass, A.84, and the Governor to sign, S.172/A.84, which would provide for annual increases of the weekly Temporary Disability Insurance payments from January 1, 2026, through January 1, 2030, so that such payments achieve parity with weekly payments available for those on Paid Family Leave.

Resolution 868-A, sponsored by Speaker Adrienne Adams, would call on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.8541/A.8946, legislation that mandates that Medicaid automatically authorize the coverage of validated blood pressure cuffs and monitors for pregnant people and fully reimburse healthcare providers who assist such patients in their usage.

Resolution 1082-A, sponsored by Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala, would call on the New York State Department of Health to confidentially share data regarding adverse maternal health events from the New York Patient Occurrence Reporting and Tracking System (NYPORTS) with the New York City Maternal Mortality Review Committee.

"To address the maternal mortality crisis, we must first have a clear understanding of the types and frequency of adverse events that are affecting health outcomes for mothers," said Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala. "I'm proud that the Council voted to pass Resolution 1082-A, which strengthens our partnership with the state to ensure that our work to identify disparities and advance targeted solutions is grounded in data. This shared knowledge will lay the foundation for future collaborative efforts to close gaps and ensure safer outcomes for our communities."

Resolution 1085-A, sponsored by Council Member Mercedes Narcisse, would call on New York City Health and Hospitals facilities to report adverse maternal health events to NYPORTS based on an expanded and standardized definition of adverse maternal health events, including adverse events at least 30 days post-partum.

"As a nurse, I've seen how dangerous it can be when critical information about maternal health complications goes unreported or overlooked," said Council Member Mercedes Narcisse. "By ensuring that adverse maternal health events are clearly defined and fully reported, we can work towards closing any data gaps, while holding our systems accountable, and ultimately saving lives. Every mother deserves to survive childbirth and receive the care she needs before, during and after childbirth."

Resolution 1086-A, sponsored by Council Member Chi Ossé, would call on the New York State Department of Health to create a new and separate occurrence code for maternal mortality and to standardize the definition of events reportable to NYPORTS.

"Black women in New York City are six times more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth than white women, a disparity even worse than the national one," said Council Member Chi Ossé. "These deaths are preventable, yet New York State continues to rely on a flawed reporting system that hides the full scope of this crisis. Generations of neglect and bias have left Black New Yorkers questioning a medical system that too often fails to see their pain. The State Department of Health must step up, create a dedicated code for maternal mortality, and ensure every loss is counted. Accountability begins with telling the truth, and every mother in our state deserves nothing less."

Resolution 1087-A, sponsored by Council Member Lynn Schulman, would call on the New York State Department of Health to conduct regular reviews of NYPORTS data, and to require hospitals to retroactively fill in missing data.

"Accurate and transparent hospital reporting is essential to keeping patients safe and improving the quality of care across New York State," said Council Member Lynn Schulman. "By calling for regular audits and the completion of missing NYPORTS data, this resolution reinforces our commitment to accountability and patient safety. New Yorkers deserve a health care system that learns from its mistakes and continually works to do better. I want to thank Speaker Adrienne Adams and my Council colleagues for their leadership and support in advancing this important measure to strengthen oversight and protect patients."

Tracking Vacant NYCHA Units

Introduction 111-A, sponsored by Council Member Alexa Avilés, would require the mayor or a designated office or agency to publish online and submit to the Council an annual report on NYCHA dwelling units that were vacant during the immediately preceding calendar year. The report would include the number of vacant units, including the number of units that are located in seniors-only developments, contain accessibility features, were recategorized as non-dwelling units, or tested positive for a hazardous substance. It would also include average vacancy length, reasons for vacancy, and NYCHA's efforts to promptly occupy vacant units.

"Thousands of NYCHA units are currently sitting vacant, waiting for repairs," said Council Member Alexa Avilés. "It can take years to bring new tenants into an empty NYCHA unit, without much public understanding as to why. That's unacceptable during an extreme housing crisis where over 200,000 New Yorkers are on the NYCHA waitlist. Our public housing is a valuable resource that should be given focus and maintenance. My bill will ensure that the Council is able to monitor the number of empty units and will allow us to seek further transparency about these delays."

Updating Race and Ethnicity Options in Demographic Information Collection Forms

Introduction 1134-A, sponsored by Council Member Shekar Krishnan, would require agencies that collect demographic information from individuals through form documents to include additional race and ethnicity options. The bill would require these agencies to provide people filling out form documents with voluntary demographic information surveys, and would also require that the Office of Operations provide a report disclosing which forms are within an agency's authority to amend, any barriers that would prevent an agency from amending a form, and whether the agency has applied for or obtained a waiver to amend that form. Finally, the Office of Operations would be required to publish the data from the survey forms and webpage. Within one year of publishing this data, agencies would be required to evaluate their services and report on new or modified services as well as a copy of any physical forms that were used to collect the data.

"New York City prides itself on being diverse, but we don't have the data to back it," said Council Member Shekar Krishnan. "Our communities, especially our AAPI communities, are treated as a monolith. But after today, that will no longer be the case because the New York City Council is passing my legislation, Intro 1134, and putting an end to city agencies lacking data that is inclusive of the diversity of our city. As the first Indian American elected to City Council, I'm proud to be able to usher in meaningful reform like this, ensuring that all our voices are in the room when the government makes critical decisions that impact all of us."

Supporting Small Businesses' Compliance

Introduction 1132-A, sponsored by Council Member Oswald Feliz, would require the Department of Small Business Services (SBS) to coordinate with city agencies to develop and deliver regulatory compliance assistance to small businesses within each borough in New York City annually. SBS would be required to develop assistance to similarly situated businesses within each borough and disclose these services in their annual public report. Finally, services developed would be uploaded to the Small Business Portal when appropriate.

"Our small businesses are the backbone of our communities," said Council Member Oswald Feliz. "But they also face obstacles with regulations, which can be confusing and burdensome, especially for our newer businesses. My bill will help ensure that the City supplies small businesses with the resources they need to help comply with the many regulations that apply. This way, our small businesses can focus on what they do best which is hiring local people, simulating our economy, and making our communities vibrant."

Training First Responders on Domestic Violence-Related Brain Injuries

Introduction 29-A, sponsored by Majority Leader Amanda Farías, would require the Director of the Office to End Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV), in consultation with the Fire Commissioner and Police Commissioner, to develop a training program for first responders on how to recognize and respond to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that may result from domestic violence.

"We set a new standard for how New York City cares for survivors," said Majority Leader Amanda Farías. "My bill, Intro 29, builds a system that finally sees what has too often been invisible-traumatic brain injuries caused by gender-motivated violence that affect memory, behavior, and daily life. Requiring specialized training for first responders, including the FDNY and NYPD, and empowering the Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) to lead a citywide public awareness campaign are the most effective ways to identify these injuries early, connect survivors to care, and change how our city responds to gender-based violence. With advocates like VOA-GNY, whose pilot program found that four out of five survivors in shelters screened showed injuries consistent with traumatic brain injury, I'm proud to champion this effort to shift the norm from ignorance to intervention."

Licensing and Establishing Consumer Protections for Self-Storage Facilities

Introduction 1290-A, sponsored by Council Member Julie Menin, would establish a new license category for self-storage facilities, which would include the facilities that provide storage units for personal property and are accessible to the storage occupants. The annual license would cost $295. DCWP would enforce this law and would have the authority to suspend or revoke a self-storage facility license upon five or more violations within a two-year period. This bill would also remove outdated requirements associated with storage warehouse facilities.

"As a former Commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, I have seen firsthand how parts of the industry can exploit regulatory gaps to take advantage of everyday New Yorkers," said Council Member Julie Menin. "In a dense urban environment like New York City, where limited living space makes self-storage a necessity, access to affordable and transparent options is essential. This legislation will finally license the self-storage industry, establish clear rules to ensure fairness and accountability in the industry and protect consumers from unfair practices and fees. I thank Speaker Adams for her leadership in advancing this crucial measure."

Introduction 495-A, sponsored by Council Member Justin Brannan, would require self-storage facilities and storage warehouses to provide 60 days' notice prior to increasing an occupant's storage fees. In addition, self-storage facilities would not be permitted to terminate occupancies without providing an explanation for such termination.

"New Yorkers who rely on storage units deserve clear communication about their rental agreements," said Council Member Justin Brannan. "They should be given clear reasons why they might be forced to vacate, and time to plan around large rental fee increases. Intro 495 is about leveling the playing field and making sure consumers can expect the same transparency from storage companies that we expect from other rental arrangements."

Enhancing Gun Warnings

Introduction 1016-A, sponsored by Council Member Erik Bottcher, would require DOHMH to design graphic images to accompany the written warnings required by State law. Gun dealers and licensing officers would be responsible for displaying or disseminating such graphic images alongside the written warnings. DOHMH would also publish the graphic images on their website.

"I am profoundly proud that today, New York City is taking a brave and necessary step that no other city in America has taken," said Council Member Erik Bottcher. "We are the first to require gun stores to display graphic warning images that show the devastating consequences of having a firearm in the home. This life saving law will protect families, open eyes, and inspire cities across the nation to act. I am grateful to Speaker Adrienne Adams and my Council colleagues for standing with me to make history and to save lives."

Increasing Transparency of Tax Preparation Services

Introduction 1231-A, sponsored by Council Member Chris Banks, would require tax preparers to provide consumers with a receipt that includes an itemized list of all charges and fees. This bill would also require tax preparers to provide consumers with an itemized statement prior to providing tax services, which would include all charges for the services that the tax preparer intends to provide the consumer. Tax preparers would be required to provide the statements in both a physical and electronic format.

"I'm proud to see Intro 1231 going up for a vote," said Council Member Chris Banks. "This bill is about fairness - making sure both tax preparers and clients are on the same page. By requiring clear, itemized statements and receipts, we're looking to build trust, transparency, and accountability between people and businesses."

Supporting Daily News Staff Union

Resolution 1015, sponsored by Council Member Carmen De La Rosa, would condemn Alden Global Capital's cuts and managerial hostility towards unionized New York Daily News staff and call on the hedge fund to reach a contract deal with the newspaper's union.

"New York's hometown newspaper has held us accountable, informed us, and told our stories," said Council Member Carmen De La Rosa. "With the federal regime trying to silence our city, it's now essential to protect this cornerstone of democracy. The Daily News journalists are underpaid and face poor working conditions, with only 65 journalists covering 8.5 million residents. Alden Global Capital is a union-busting firm threatening our paper. This City Council is with workers, and the Too Tough to Die Resolution reinforces our support of the Daily News Union's unionized journalists in their fight for a fair contract."

Calling for State Law to Require Swim Safety for Students

Resolution 501-A, sponsored by Council Member Shekar Krishnan, would call on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.2545A/A.4846 to require school districts to send water safety informational materials home to students' parents or guardians and permit school districts to provide water safety instruction in school for K-12 students.

"I'm proud that my resolution, Resolution 501, calling on the New York State Legislature and Governor Hochul to provide swim safety education to our students is passing," said Council Member Shekar Krishnan. "As Chair of the Parks Committee in the New York City Council, I'm dedicated to ensuring that our children and New Yorkers are safe while swimming in pools and on our beaches. After we've seen drowning rates increase over the last few summers, we need to prioritize swim safety education. This requires an all-hands-on-deck task, and New York State needs to be a partner in."

Calling for the Protection of Social Security Staff and Offices

Resolution 852-A, sponsored by Council Member Shekar Krishnan, would call on federal officials to halt Social Security Administration (SSA) office closures, restore staffing and funding, oppose privatization efforts, and enact legislation to secure long-term financing of the Social Security program to protect seniors and individuals with disabilities who depend on these benefits.

"As our federal government continues to be shuttered, public benefits are being put more and more at risk," said Council Member Shekar Krishnan. "I'm proud that our City Council is united in calling on Donald Trump and the Republican controlled Congress to protect Social Security for all New Yorkers by passing Resolution 852. New York City deserves better leadership in Washington, and today our New York City Council took yet another step to defend New Yorkers and protect their wallets."

Designating October as Black Boy Joy Month

Resolution 969-A, sponsored by Council Member Kevin C. Riley, would designate October as Black Boy Joy Month in the City of New York to celebrate the resilience, intelligence, creativity, and potential of young Black boys.

"Black Boy Joy is a declaration that our young Black men deserve to be celebrated not for what they've survived, but for who they are," said Council Member Kevin C. Riley. "Their intelligence, resilience, and creativity light the path for our communities and our city's future. I'm proud that New York City will now recognize October as Black Boy Joy Month. This strengthens our commitment to uplift their brilliance and their joy, and to honor the movement sparked by One Strong Brotherhood, who remind us that being joyful while being Black is revolutionary."

Land Use:

The Jamaica Neighborhood Plan is the City's largest neighborhood rezoning in over two decades and will deliver nearly 12,000 new homes, nearly 4,200 of which will be permanently affordable, in Council Member Nantasha Williams, Speaker Adrienne Adams, and Council Member James Gennaro's districts. The plan, which spans 230 blocks in Southeast Queens, will map the largest Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area ever created in the city and generate over 2 million square feet of new commercial and community facility space with 7,000 new jobs. The Council secured over $413 million in new community investments, including for water and sewer infrastructure, parks and open space, transportation and public realm improvements, public health and safety resources, and educational institutions.

Ikos Senior Living - the disposition of city-owned property to facilitate the development of affordable housing for seniors in Council Member Tiffany Caban's district. This project is a result of the 2019 Seniors First Request for Proposals (RFP) to redevelop city-owned parking lots and will result in a new 13-story, mixed-use building with a total of 167 income-restricted apartments for seniors, as well as community facility and commercial space.
