Whenever a city passes or amends its general or zoning laws within 30 days of the adjournment of the municipal assembly, the city clerk must submit them to the Office of the Attorney General for review and approval. The Attorney General will then have 90 days to decide whether the proposed amendments are consistent with the Constitution and the laws of the Commonwealth. If the Attorney General finds a contradiction between the proposed amendments and state law, the amendments or parts thereof will be rejected. The Municipal Law Unit is responsible for conducting this review and making a written decision approving or rejecting amendments to the bylaws. According to the law, the Municipal Law Unit is required to review the statutes to ensure that it complies with state law and cannot take into account political considerations. The Ministry of Buildings provides direct access to certain local laws. Other local laws can be found at the New York City Council.
