Bill > S06267

This bill amends the New York City Charter to allow the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) to access and receive sealed records from any public agency in New York State in furtherance of the CCRB's duties and functions. The bill outlines the procedures for the CCRB's handling and use of these sealed records, including restricting access to CCRB members and employees directly involved in a matter, notifying individuals whose records were accessed, and destroying or returning the 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 can obtain under this provision.
