MODERATE

The bill was amended to update the administrative code citation from section 16-118.1 to 16-120 and expanded the protected time window for residential occupants from Friday through Sunday to Friday through Saturday. This change ensures residents are not ticketed for placing trash out earlier than allowed during the weekend collection period, providing additional protection against enforcement actions for common residential waste management practices.

Scope change

The bill now applies to a longer weekend timeframe (Friday through Saturday instead of Friday through Sunday) and references updated administrative code sections and terminology related to refuse collection rules.

SCOPE

Extended the protected weekend period from Friday through Sunday to Friday through Saturday, giving residents more time before enforcement begins on Saturdays.

TECHNICAL

Updated the administrative code citation from section 16-118.1 to section 16-120 to reflect current code structure.

DEFINITION

Changed terminology from 'trash or garbage' to 'refuse, solid waste or recyclable material' and updated references to align with current department rules and charter requirements.

ELIGIBILITY

Added protection for persons who manage or control residential buildings or dwellings, expanding coverage beyond just owners, lessees, tenants, or occupants.
