                                 BILL NUMBER:  S2280

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to traffic stops
conducted by law enforcement officers


 PURPOSE :
The proposed legislation will define and prohibit racial profiling;
the practice of stopping someone based on the racial or ethnic status
of that person.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Amends the executive law by adding a new section 837-s with,
essentially, four new provisions:

* Defines racial profiling as the detention, interdiction or other
disparate treatment of an individual solely on the basis of the racial
or ethnic status of such individuals;

* Prohibits racial profiling;

* Establishes a law enforcement written data collection policy
regarding racial profiling;

* Establishes a reporting system to the legislature.

 JUSTIFICATION :
There is an increasing public perception around the nation of bias
against minorities in traffic stops. There is much anecdotal evidence
suggesting that this bias exists but little, if any, hard statistics
to prove such a bias. North Carolina has passed legislation requiring
that data be collected on all traffic stops.  Connecticut has passed
legislation prohibiting racial profiling as well as requiring data
collection. Other states are now studying this issue. It is time for
New York to join these states by outlawing racial profiling and by
requiring collection of data on traffic stops. As we enter the 21st
Century, no American should endure a traffic stop because of his or
her race or ethnicity. No driver should fear driving because he or she
might be stopped based only on the color of their skin. New York State
should lead the way in prohibiting this pernicious practice and in
collecting relevant data on the issue.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2000: S.6801 Referred to Finance
2001: S.1512 Referred to Finance
2002: S.1512-A Referred to Finance
2006: S.641 Referred to Finance
2007: S.1986

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT :
Undetermined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
