Speaker Menin on Intro 955A Red Tape Relief Act and Intro 692A para stabilization

Introduction 955-A, also known as a red tape.

Relief Act, sponsored by Councilmember Susan Zhuang, would require the mayor to establish a program that would coordinate inspections and plan reviews among agencies to cut down on the time for new

businesses to open.

Thank you to David Seiser, Tyler Walls, and Rebecca Barilla.

And finally, introduction 692-A, sponsored by Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa, would require the Department of Education to provide a workforce stabilization payment totaling up to $10,000

to each eligible school paraprofessional for work performed during the 2026-2027 school year.

Such workforce stabilization payment would be paid to eligible school paraprofessionals in four separate installments.

Thank you to Rhi, Ogasawara, Elliot Lin, and Samita Deshmukh.

So thank you for your attention to that.

I'll turn it back over to our Majority Leader.
