Named after a Brooklyn boy who died due to a speeding driver over a decade ago, the legislation aims to enhance public safety. The bill's passage has seen significant support from various stakeholders, including Borough President Richards, who played a crucial role, and the NYC Council, which is set to vote on the measure.
