Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law and the civil practice law and rules, in relation to detaining persons for longer than twentyfour hours
AI Summary
This bill amends New York's criminal procedure law and civil practice law to address the detention of individuals for longer than 24 hours. It requires that persons taken into custody by police be promptly brought before a court, within 24 hours or less, and sets an evidentiary presumption that detention beyond 24 hours without arraignment is unnecessary and unlawful, unless the government can clearly demonstrate otherwise. The bill also requires cities with over 1 million residents to establish an online registry of persons taken into custody, accessible only to public defender organizations, to help track detentions. The overall aim is to ensure that individuals are not held in custody for extended periods without prompt judicial review.
