The New York State Senate Committee on Codes held two hearings on October 17 and October 24, 2019 for bill S3695 introduced by Senator Jamaal T. Bailey that would repeal CRL 50-a, the state law that that makes confidential personnel records of law enforcement, including misconduct records. Family members who have lost loved ones to NYPD violence, members of Communities United for Police Reform and the Safer NY Act coalition, and other advocates and elected officials delivered testimony at both hearings on the urgent need to completely repeal CRL 50-a.
