New York City is diverse, complex, and unlike anywhere else. The Council creates laws to provide a framework for governing our unique city. The Council writes and passes local laws that affect the day-to-day lives of people living in, working in, or visiting New York City.
The legislative term consists of two legislative sessions. The legislative sessions are usually referenced by number, e.g., 228th Session (2005). Article IV, § 7 requires that every bill that passes both the Senate and the Assembly be approved and signed by the Governor before it becomes a law.
If the Mayor signs the bill, it immediately becomes a local law and is entered into the City's Administrative Code. If the Mayor vetoes the bill, it is returned to the City Council, through the City Clerk, with the Mayor's objections, at the next scheduled Stated Meeting.

A public hearing is held on the proposed legislation. After committee debate and public testimony, the bill may be amended. The committee meets to vote on the final version of the bill. If passed in committee, the bill is sent to the full Council for more debate and a final vote at a subsequent Stated Meeting.
The Council monitors the operation and performance of city agencies, makes land use decisions and has sole responsibility for approving the city's budget. It also legislates on a wide range of other subjects. The Council is an equal partner with the Mayor in the governing of New York City.
