Office of Intergovernmental Affairs legislative reference files for 1987 to 1990
Description
The New York City Legislative Office, now known as the Mayor's Office of State Legislative Affairs was established in 1947 and made part of the Mayor's Office in the late 1970's. Each year, the Mayor’s Legislative Representative and staff present hundreds of legislative proposals on behalf of the city to be considered by the state legislature and the Governor. In addition to the city program, the office must review proposals which directly affect the city, such as the city’s taxing authorities, the administration of criminal justice, and care of the sick and elderly. Once the city’s position on a proposal is established, the task of this office is to communicate that position to the legislature and the Governor, done usually by letter or memorandum. This accession consists of subject files used for administrative reference purposes. Each folder contains a proposed legislative act. Also included are memoranda explaining the purpose of the bill, a summary of provisions of the bill, as well as Senate-Assembly versions of the bill, Legislative Bill Draft Commission Reports, statistical materials, correspondence, memoranda of support, mailgrams, and sample letters, with attachments, to be sent to legislators. Subjects range from Aging to Youth. Of these files, approximately two cubic feet are from the Dinkins Administration. Materials are arranged alphabetically.
