I Hold hearings for three bills that help prevent opioid overdoses in a nightlife venues that would help reduce the flow of illegal firearms into New York City and That designate Times Square as a zone where it is unlawful to carry firearms three important bills That are addressing real issues and crises that are unfolding in our city The opioid crisis has been inflicting pain and heartache on New York City of For far too long. We have lost too many New Yorkers to overdoses Too many families and communities have been torn apart and COVID-19 has only made it worse and while our first While we are the first in a nation To open overdose prevention centers. They have been successful averting 400 over 480 overdoses since opening We can and must do more to tackle this public health crisis and that is what we're doing today with intro 56 dash a this bill is how we save lives intro 56 that stash a requires the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to create a nightlife opioid antagonist Program to help prevent opioid overdoses and nightlife Establishment the program will permit nightlife Establishments in the city to request and retain up to five opioid antagonist kids at a time Five at a time free of charge to keep on premises This is going to help those who are in need of this usage New York City is not just a place that's tackling opioid cases We are working hard to end gun violence and stop the scourge of illegal guns in our city Gun violence is a national nightmare Haunted America every day. It isn't just a big city problem or small city problem It isn't an American probably and illegal guns are feeding the river of violence Something that I talk about all the time. We have to damn every river and here in New York We're going to do just that damn every river and today we continue to fight against the flow of illegal guns onto our streets intro five fifty one five one eight Requires the mayor's office of criminal justice Mach J to coordinate with the New York City Police Department to conduct a study on reducing the flow of firearms into the city and issue a report December 1st 2022 and annually on the trafficking of illegal firearms into New York City We cannot fix what we don't continue to identify and report in a real way And finally we turn to intro six zero two Earlier this year the Supreme Court overturned in New York's long-standing gun license Requirements taking aim at the safety of New Yorkers The decision came down less than six weeks After ten New Yorkers were shot and killed Inside a Buffalo's supermarket Here in New York a place known with freedom Openness and diversity we would defend ourselves against these threats to our safety Thanks to Governor Hokel and the state lawmakers new restrictions on carrying of concealed weapons in sensitive locations are now in place And today we are enshrining those restrictions into city law Protecting New Yorkers tourists and all who visit our city The safety and security of eight point eight million people is my primary Responsibility and working with city council We have continued to make it New York's number one priority and I cannot thank them enough million of New York is in tourists flock to Times Square to see Broadway shows Enjoy a good meal and take photos of the me the Nino billboards and all the Excitement that Times Square brings so intro six zero two amends the administrative code of the city of New York To identify Times Square as a sentence sensitive location zone Where it is unlawful to carry firearms Licent gun carriers Others may not Inter-sensitive location zones with a gun or less. Otherwise specifically authorized by law So I want to thank speaker Adrian Adams council member or say and council member a broor For allowing and partnering with us to get these bills done save lives through the opioid crisis and gun violence At this time, I want to invite the public to comment on these three bills Hi, Mr. Adams. My name is Tawaki Komatsu. We previously met a couple of times I Mainly just have an objection to one of the bills that's on the agenda for discussion today the one that would basically assign responsibility to the NYPD and Mochay That you just talked about That I guess my objections to that There's currently litigation against members of the NYPD for essentially terrorism In New York City throughout 2020 So the point is if you have members in it of the NYPD and SUV for example driving into a crowd in Brooklyn Can you identify which members of the NYPD are going to be assigned to the team? I guess setting up the rules regulations to find out. Do they have an active lawsuit against them? Do they have CCRB complaints against them meaning? For example, there's a federal court decision of Pisco versus the city of New York It basically talks about how the competency of members of the NYPD is of public concern So the question is if you as a mayor as a manager of a team an administration are basically giving the responsibility to people dressed in law enforcement Costumes to make law enforcement decisions when they're actually violating a pickle law on the site on the side I don't think that's a very rational decision Something that I have to support that Remark, I have federal court litigation. I received something from the US Supreme Court yesterday So the question is you can make your decision and then somebody like me Can know how the US Supreme Court over overruled that have a good day Anytime we make an assignment of a police officer We take an account his or her record to make sure the right person is assigned and we're going to ensure our Disciplinary process is in place for anyone that violates any rules of the NYPD Any other questions? Thank you
