NYC Mayor's Office Rethinks Recent Public Photo Rules

The New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) has issued a statement saying that it will redraft proposed rules governing permits for photography and videography on city property. The decision comes on the last day of the Office's public-comment period for the rules, and follows protests from the public and organizations such as the New York Civil Liberties Union, Picture New York, and the National Press Photographers Association.

Once the permit rules are redrafted and published, a new 30-day period for public comments will be opened and a public hearing on them will be held.

Read the full MOFTB statement as posted on popphoto.com.
