Preconsidered Res. No. 971
Resolution to amend chapter II of the rules of the council in relation to outside earned income of members
By The Speaker (Council Member Mark-Viverito) and Council Member Lander
Section 1. Chapter II of the rules of the council of the city of New York is amended by adding a new rule 2.85 to read as follows:
2.85. Outside Earned Income - Members may not receive outside earned income. Outside earned income means income other than the Council salary and benefits of a member, except that such term does not include (1) investment income, including but not limited to interest, dividends, rents, annuities and capital gains; (2) compensation for personal services actually rendered before the adoption of this rule or before such individual became a member; (3) income received from a pension or retirement account, or from social security; (4) copyright royalties received under usual and customary contractual terms; (5) compensation for speaking engagements or artistic performance, with advance approval by the conflicts of interest board; (6) income received for teaching a course of instruction at an established academic institution for which students receive credit, so long as such compensation does not exceed that normally received by others at the institution for a comparable type and amount of instruction; and (7) with advance approval by the Office of General Counsel, minimal earned income from activity involving only a limited time commitment, and which does not interfere with the performance of official duties. Any income received by a member shall be subject to the requirements of chapter 68 of the charter. Until January 1, 2018, the provisions of this rule do not apply to any member who submits a letter to the Speaker no later than March 1, 2016 stating that such member has received outside income during the Council’s 2014-2017 session and intends to continue to receive outside earned income.
