The ordinance was enacted. Now you're umpiring a varsity game in NYC and a player comes to bat with hir own (presumably personal property) metal bat. The other team's captain objects. The league in which the game is being contested has no rule against metal bats. What do you do? Tell the other team's captain to call a cop, because it's not in your jurisdiction?

I can practically guarantee the situation above will arise, unless every HS circuit playing games within NYC adopts a rule conforming to the ordinance. It's not like pro boxing, where state commissions make & enforce both the laws and the rules.
