BILL NUMBER:S3021
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the general business law, in relation to requiring licensing for doorbuster sales
Purpose
To ensure businesses have proper licenses and have taken certain safety precautions when conducting door buster sales.
Summary of provision
Amends section 1, chapter 2 of title 20 of the administrative code of the city of New York by adding subchapter 33. The new subchapter includes definitions of what a door buster sale is, the license required, application, the issuance of the license, rules, violations, and hearing authority.
Justification
Door buster sales often attract large crowds to business stores and outlets, due to the many discounts offered. Safety is always an issue at these stores, due to high capacity of people, limited space.for customers, and inadequate security. The provisions ensure that businesses must apply for a license to have a door buster sale. They must meet certain requirements such as floor space, security measures, and a projection of customers expected to attend. These guidelines will ensure customers, employees, and bystanders are not harmed, and that security measures are in place to handle the influx of customers.
