Bill > S07535

This bill requires employees of the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) who interview students on school grounds to provide both verbal and written warnings about the student's rights during the interview. Specifically, the employee must inform the student that they have the right to refuse the interview, that the interview can only occur with the student's consent, and that the student has the right to have a supportive adult present during the interview. The bill amends both the New York City Charter and the Administrative Code of the City of New York to ensure these protections are implemented. By mandating these warnings, the bill aims to protect students' rights and provide them with clear information about their options when being interviewed by ACS staff on school premises. The new requirements will take effect 30 days after the bill becomes law, giving schools and ACS time to prepare for the implementation of these new procedural safeguards.
