Mayor Mamdani is proposing a new law that would allow New Yorkers to directly sue businesses accused of violating the city’s consumer and worker protection laws. The proposed POWER Act would give consumers, workers, small businesses and nonprofits the ability to bring cases over unfair or deceptive business practices rather than relying solely on city agencies to take enforcement action. The legislation still needs City Council approval before becoming law.
