A bill intended to protect small businesses is too broad and has to be rewritten, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said Tuesday.

Johnson said a lot has changed in the city since the legislation was first introduced in 1986 so the bill has to keep pace.

The legislation would force landlords to offer 10-year lease renewals to businesses and go to arbitration if both sides can’t reach a deal. It was reintroduced earlier this year by Councilman Ydanis Rodriquez (D-Manhattan).

“I do think some changes are going to have to be made to have the effect we want to have,” Johnson said on WNYC radio.

He said the aim is to “limit the scope of the bill to actually protect small businesses.”

“This bill is not written in a way that I think goes to the issue we are trying resolve,” Johnson said. “This bill right now treats all commercial leases equally, so if you are a white-shoe law firm or Goldman Sacks, you are treated the same way as a bodega.”

During a Council hearing on Monday, Gregg Bishop, commissioner of the Department of Social Services, said the de Blasio administration opposes the legislation as written and warned that it could actually hurt the small businesses it’s intended to help.

Commercial rent control ended in 1963 when a state law mandating it expired. Johnson and other council members claim the bill isn’t actually rent control but rather “commercial rent renewal rights for tenants.”
