The amendments explicitly called for disclosure of law enforcement disciplinary records, including complaints, allegations, and charges against law enforcement employees.

Stewart-Cousins’ issued a statement and said, “The horrific murder of George Floyd, the most recent in a long list of innocent people like Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, Sean Reed, Tony McDade, and so many more. Black New Yorkers, like all residents of this state, deserve to know that their rights, and lives, are valued and protected by our justice system”.
