Law New

Law new refers to new laws, ordinances and regulations adopted by a government agency. This is different from case law, which refers to a legal decision made by a court of appeals or supreme court. This article will cover legislation and other regulatory activity affecting businesses, consumers and the environment.

Generally, new legislation takes the form of a bill that has been drafted by an attorney, usually in the interest of an individual client. A bill can also be proposed by an advocacy group or submitted by a city agency or department. Once the bill has been drafted, it can be submitted to a member of Congress who represents an area in which it would be beneficial to have the law changed.

A bill can become law when it’s passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. It then goes through the bicameral process in both houses before it can be sent to the President of the United States for approval. The President can approve the bill, veto it or take no action. If the President doesn’t veto it, it will become law after 30 days.

In New York City, legislation takes the form of bills that are drafted by the Council and then approved by the Mayor. Once it has been approved, the bill becomes part of the City Charter or Administrative Code. After the Mayor signs it into law or vetoes it, the City Council can override the veto with a 2/3 majority vote.

A few examples of law new include a ban on broker fees for apartment rentals, requiring employers to disclose the existence of student loan forgiveness programs and making it easier for police officers to confiscate a person’s cellphone in retail theft cases. Another new law requires maternity patients to be given access to a doula, expands the information prospective maternity patients receive about facilities’ safety drills and fetal non-stress tests, and makes it easier for people to sue for consumer protection violations.
