Be it enacted by the Council as follows: §1. Subdivision d of Section 24-237 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to read as follows: (d) No person shall operate or use or cause to be operated or used on any public right-of-way any electrically operated or electronic sound signal device (other than a safety device, such as but not limited to a car horn or back up signal, that is actually used for its intended purpose) attached to, on or in a motor vehicle, wagon or manually propelled cart from which food or any other items are sold or offered for sale after 9:00 p.m. and before 9:00 a.m., or when the vehicle is stopped, standing or parked.
