Bill > A01739

This bill amends the New York Correction Law to require that when the Commissioner of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) issues a subpoena duces tecum (a legal order requiring the production of specific documents or evidence) that involves the personal information of a DOCCS officer or employee, that individual must be provided with written notice within five business days of the subpoena's issuance. The bill modifies existing language that previously used gendered pronouns (his or her) with more neutral phrasing and adds the new notification requirement. The change aims to ensure transparency and provide DOCCS employees with timely information about legal proceedings that might involve their personal information. The legislation will take effect immediately upon enactment, ensuring that the new notification requirement can be implemented right away.
