                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3698

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the executive law and the general
municipal law, in relation to prohibiting local government action
which prevents the enforcement of federal laws

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

This bill prohibits local governments and entities thereof, including
sheriff's departments, municipal police departments and district
attorney's offices, from adopting laws or policies which impede or
interfere with the execution of federal detention requests.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Sections One adds a new paragraph (u) to subdivision 2 of section 709
of the Executive Law, relating to the powers and duties of the
commissioner and of the superintendent of the state police. This new
paragraph requires the commissioner, in conjunction with the
superintendent of the state police, to develop a list of local
governments and entities thereof which have local laws or policies
which serve to impede or interfere with the enforcement of federal
detention requests.

Section Two adds a new section 139-E to the general municipal law,
prohibiting a local government from adopting a law or policy which

interferes with the enforcement of any federal detention requests with
certain exceptions aimed at protecting victims of a crime, witnesses
to a crime, children attending school and persons utilizing the
services of a municipal hospital. Violations of this section will
result in the withholding of state funding.

Section Three is the severability clause.

Section Four provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :

However well intentioned, it is clear that local policies of
non-cooperation with federal detention requests puts innocent lives at
risk and should be abandoned. Our local law enforcement agencies
should not be providing sanctuary to any person who is in their
custody, who is also the subject of a detention order issued by any
federal law enforcement agency. Further, local governments should not
be picking and choosing which federal laws or agencies that they wish
to cooperate with, and those which they wish to obstruct.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

Similar to S6032 of 2015/16: Passed in the Senate

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None to the State.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
