Bill > S01184

This bill amends the Criminal Procedure Law and the Civil Practice Law and Rules to require that persons taken into custody by police officers be promptly arraigned, within 24 hours or less, and establishes a searchable online registry in cities with a population of one million or more to track the names, ages, and locations of detained persons. The bill also creates a presumption that detention without arraignment for more than 24 hours is unlawful, which can be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence demonstrating the delay was unavoidable and necessary. The bill aims to ensure prompt judicial review of detentions and provide transparency around the detention of individuals by law enforcement.
