                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3974

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the executive law and the general
municipal law, in relation to prohibiting the provision of assistance
in the enforcement of a certain United States Executive Order relating
to border security and immigration, within the state

 PURPOSE :

To prohibit the state from providing any resources in enforcement of
the unjust executive order resulting in the detention of immigrants.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 prohibits the Port Authority from expending any resources to
assist with the enforcement of the President's Executive Order of
January 25, 2017

Section 2 provides that this shall only apply to Port Authority
actions within the boundaries of the state of New York

Section 3 amends the executive law, adding a new section 233
preventing any member of the state police from assisting in
enforcement of the executive order

Section 4 amends the general municipal law, adding a new section 205-h

prohibiting any New York City Police Officer from assisting in
enforcement of the executive order.

 JUSTIFICATION :

As one of the most diverse states in the nation and the entry point
for thousands of immigrants every year, New York must stand up against
unjust and unlawful actions by the Federal Government. When the
President announced the Executive Order, lawful immigrants were denied
entry in to our country, many being detained for days without access
to legal representation. These individuals, many of whom were already
residing in the United States, had already been subject to careful
review by the State Department, Department of Homeland Security and
other federal agencies and were cleared for entry to the country. This
bill makes it clear to the federal government that New York will not
participate in the enforcement of this executive action in the state.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New Bill

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
