How to petition a city agency
Petitioning asks an agency to begin rulemaking. It is different from commenting on an already-proposed rule, and different again from speaking at a public hearing on one.
CityScroll identified Commission on Racial Equity from an explicit CityScroll–NYC Rules agency resolution.
This is the City's general rulemaking-petition guidance. CityScroll has not indexed a published petition procedure for Commission on Racial Equity, so it does not name an exact destination here. That is missing evidence, not a finding that you cannot petition this body.
- Describe the rule you want adopted, amended, or repealed. Open the official petition form.
- Send the completed form to the responsible agency. Read the official guidance.
- The agency must reply within 60 days. See the authoritative NYC Rules requirement.
Drafting prompts
Use these prompts to prepare your own petition before opening the official form:
- What rule should the agency adopt, amend, or repeal?
- What problem would the requested change address?
- What change are you requesting, and what evidence supports it?
CityScroll does not save, submit, or track a petition draft.
An official submission contact is not resolved here. Use the City's official agency-contact lookup.
What may happen: the agency declines and gives its reason, or proceeds and initiates CAPA rulemaking.
CityScroll does not submit or track petitions.
