Bill > S06170

This bill establishes new requirements for municipal corporations in New York that are resettling, transporting, or relocating non-detained migrants within the state. Under the new law, municipal corporations must consult with the governor and the chief executive officer of the affected municipality at least 30 days before any migrant relocation. Additionally, the municipal corporation initiating the relocation must submit a detailed monthly report to the governor and other municipal leaders, which must also be published on a public website. The report must include comprehensive information about the migrants, such as their total number, demographic breakdown (including age, sex, and country of origin), types of settings they are being relocated to, work permit status, financial support resources, educational and occupational assistance provided, total relocation expenses, the temporary or permanent nature of the relocation, and the types of security screenings performed. These reporting requirements apply to relocations directed or funded by the federal government, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (for minors), the Secretary of Homeland Security (for adults), or any municipal corporation within the state. The law will take effect 30 days after it is signed.
