Bill > A00370

This bill amends the New York City Charter to allow the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) to access and receive records that are otherwise sealed or confidential, in furtherance of the CCRB's duties and functions. The bill outlines protocols for the CCRB to handle these sealed records, including restricting access to CCRB members and employees directly involved in a matter, notifying individuals whose records are accessed, and destroying or returning records when no longer needed. The bill also clarifies that records deemed confidential under the Civil Rights Law are considered "sealed records" that the CCRB may obtain.
