The City Council Committee on Economic, Capital and Technology Development on Tuesday held an ordinance (O2024-0008201) requiring city data to “be processed, stored, transmitted and disposed of” within United States jurisdiction.

Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36), the sponsor of the measure and chair of the committee, said the proposal would be held after he received memos from the mayor’s office, sister agencies and from some city vendors such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon concerned about the proposal.
