 AN  ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to establishing
   an automatic expunction system for certain records
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.  Legislative  intent.  On  August  12, 2013, United States
 District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin issued an order in Floyd v.  City  of
 New  York  that  found  the city of New York had violated the Fourth and
 Fourteenth Amendments by acting with  "deliberate  indifference"  toward
 the  New  York City Police Department's (NYPD) practice of making suspi-
 cionless "stops" and "frisks" and by  adopting  "a  policy  of  indirect
 racial  profiling  by targeting racially defined groups" for "stops" and
 "frisks". Additionally, a remedial order was issued imposing remedies or
 "reforms" to the NYPD's "stop and frisk" practices. (959 F.Supp.2d  540,
 562,  668  (S.D.N.Y. 2013)). In a settlement to a lawsuit brought by the
 New York Civil Liberties Union the city was required to delete  personal
 information  including  names  and  addresses  of  individuals that were
 stopped, questioned and/or frisked. Between January 2004 and  June  2012
 the  NYPD made 4.4 million stops in which 83% of them were made on Afri-
 can Americans and Hispanics. The  legislature  finds  that  any  records
 associated with such unconstitutional stops, frisks and arrests shall be
 automatically  expunged  and notification shall be made to such individ-
 uals of such expunction.
   § 2. The criminal procedure law is amended by  adding  a  new  section
 160.65 to read as follows:
 § 160.65 NEW YORK CITY STOP AND FRISK AUTOMATIC EXPUNCTION.
   1.  FOR  PURPOSES  OF THIS SECTION, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE
 FOLLOWING MEANINGS:
   (A) "STOP AND FRISK" SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS SECTION 140.50  OF
 THIS TITLE.
   (B) "VOIDABLE STOP" SHALL MEAN ANY STOP THAT:
   (I) QUALIFIES AS A STOP AND FRISK;
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD01001-02-3
