Bill > S03732

This bill requires the New York State Department of Health to assign at least one narcotics investigator from the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement to each county within cities with a population of one million or more, which in New York would currently apply only to New York City. The bill amends Section 3385 of the public health law by adding a new subdivision that mandates this investigator assignment, with the goal of enhancing enforcement of narcotics-related provisions in these urban counties. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring rapid implementation of the new investigator deployment requirement. By specifying the assignment of at least one investigator per county in large cities, the bill aims to improve monitoring and enforcement of narcotics-related laws in densely populated urban areas where drug-related challenges may be more prevalent.
