The action of the court excepting information from disclo- sure shall be subject to appellate review. The pre-sentence report shall be made available by the court for examination and copying in connection with any appeal in the case, including an appeal under this subdivision. Upon written request, the court shall make a copy of the presentence report, other than a part or parts of the report redacted by the court pursuant to this paragraph, available to the defendant for use before the parole board for release consideration or an appeal of a parole board determination OR AN APPLICATION FOR RESENTENCING PURSUANT TO SECTION 440.46 OR 440.47 OF THIS CHAPTER.

Paragraph (f) of subdivision 1 of section 270.20 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED. § 7. Section 270.30 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chap- ter 1 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: § 270.30 Trial jury; alternate jurors. [1.] Immediately after the last trial juror is sworn, the court may in its discretion direct the selection of one or more, but not more than six additional jurors to be known as "alternate jurors"[, except that, in a prosecution under section 125.27 of the penal law, the court may, in its discretion, direct the selection of as many alternate jurors as the court determines to be appropriate]. Alternate jurors must be drawn in the same manner, must have the same qualifications, must be subject to the same examination and challenges for cause and must take the same oath as the regular jurors. After the jury has retired to deliberate, the court must either (1) with the consent of the defendant and the people, discharge the alternate jurors or (2) direct the alternate jurors not to discuss the case and must further direct that they be kept separate and apart from the regular jurors. [2. In any prosecution in which the people seek a sentence of death, the court shall not discharge the alternate jurors when the jury retires to deliberate upon its verdict and the alternate jurors, in the discretion of the court, may be continuously kept together under the supervision of an appropriate public servant or servants until such time as the jury returns its verdict. If the jury returns a verdict of guilty to a charge for which the death penalty may be imposed, the alternate jurors shall not be discharged and shall remain available for service S. 1505 77 A. 2005 during any separate sentencing proceeding which may be conducted pursu- ant to section 400.27.] § 8. Section 310.80 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chap- ter 1 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: § 310.80 Recording and checking of verdict and polling of jury. After a verdict has been rendered, it must be recorded on the minutes and read to the jury, and the jurors must be collectively asked whether such is their verdict. Even though no juror makes any declaration in the negative, the jury must, if either party makes such an application, be polled and each juror separately asked whether the verdict announced by the foreman is in all respects his verdict. If upon either the collec- tive or the separate inquiry any juror answers in the negative, the court must refuse to accept the verdict and must direct the jury to resume its deliberation. If no disagreement is expressed, the jury must be discharged from the case[, except as otherwise provided in section 400.27]. § 9. Subdivision 1 of section 440.20 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: 1. At any time after the entry of a judgment, the court in which the judgment was entered may, upon motion of the defendant, set aside the sentence upon the ground that it was unauthorized, illegally imposed or otherwise invalid as a matter of law. [Where the judgment includes a sentence of death, the court may also set aside the sentence upon any of the grounds set forth in paragraph (b), (c), (f), (g) or (h) of subdivi- sion one of section 440.10 as applied to a separate sentencing proceed- ing under section 400.27, provided, however, that to the extent the ground or grounds asserted include one or more of the aforesaid para- graphs of subdivision one of section 440.10, the court must also apply subdivisions two and three of section 440.10, other than paragraph (d) of subdivision two of such section, in determining the motion. In the event the court enters an order granting a motion to set aside a sentence of death under this section, the court must either direct a new sentencing proceeding in accordance with section 400.27 or, to the extent that the defendant cannot be resentenced to death consistent with the laws of this state or the constitution of this state or of the United States, resentence the defendant to life imprisonment without parole or to a sentence of imprisonment for the class A-I felony of murder in the first degree other than a sentence of life imprisonment without parole. Upon granting the motion upon any of the grounds set forth in the aforesaid paragraphs of subdivision one of section 440.10 and setting aside the sentence, the court must afford the people a reasonable period of time, which shall not be less than ten days, to determine whether to take an appeal from the order setting aside the sentence of death. The taking of an appeal by the people stays the effectiveness of that portion of the court's order that directs a new sentencing proceeding.] § 10. Subdivision 10 of section 450.20 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED. § 11. Subdivision 3 of section 460.40 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED. § 12. Section 470.30 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: § 470.30 Determination by court of appeals of appeals taken directly thereto from judgments and orders of criminal courts. [1.] Wherever appropriate, the rules set forth in sections 470.15 and 470.20, governing the consideration and determination by intermediate S. 1505 78 A. 2005 appellate courts of appeals thereto from judgments and orders of crimi- nal courts, and prescribing their scope of review and the corrective action to be taken by them upon reversal or modification, apply equally to the consideration and determination by the court of appeals of appeals taken directly thereto, [pursuant to sections 450.70 and 450.80,] from judgments and orders of superior criminal courts. [2. Whenever a sentence of death is imposed, the judgment and sentence shall be reviewed on the record by the court of appeals. Review by the court of appeals pursuant to subdivision one of section 450.70 may not be waived. 3. With regard to the sentence, the court shall, in addition to exer- cising the powers and scope of review granted under subdivision one of this section, determine: (a) whether the sentence of death was imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary or legally impermissible factor including whether the imposition of the verdict or sentence was based upon the race of the defendant or a victim of the crime for which the defendant was convicted; (b) whether the sentence of death is excessive or disproportionate to the penalty imposed in similar cases considering both the crime and the defendant. In conducting such review the court, upon request of the defendant, in addition to any other determination, shall review whether the sentence of death is excessive or disproportionate to the penalty imposed in similar cases by virtue of the race of the defendant or a victim of the crime for which the defendant was convicted; and (c) whether the decision to impose the sentence of death was against the weight of the evidence. 4. The court shall include in its decision: (a) the aggravating and mitigating factors established in the record on appeal; and (b) those similar cases it took into consideration. 5. In addition to exercising any other corrective action pursuant to subdivision one of this section, the court, with regard to review of a sentence of death, shall be authorized to: (a) affirm the sentence of death; or (b) set the sentence aside and remand the case for resentencing pursu- ant to the procedures set forth in section 400.27 for a determination as to whether the defendant shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment without parole or to a term of imprisonment for the class A-I felony of murder in the first degree other than a sentence of life imprisonment without parole; or (c) set the sentence aside and remand the case for resentencing by the court for a determination as to whether the defendant shall be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole or to a term of imprisonment for the class A-I felony of murder in the first degree other than a sentence of life imprisonment without parole.] § 13.

Section 265.45 of the penal law, as amended by section 3 of part FF of chapter 57 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows: § 265.45 Safe storage of rifles, shotguns, and firearms. No person who owns or is custodian of a rifle, shotgun or firearm who resides with an individual who such person knows or has reason to know is prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (1), (4), (8) or (9), OR PURSUANT TO A TEMPORARY OR FINAL EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDER ISSUED UNDER ARTICLE SIXTY-THREE-A OF THE CIVIL PRAC- TICE LAW AND RULES, shall store or otherwise leave such rifle, shotgun or firearm out of his or her immediate possession or control without having first securely locked such rifle, shotgun or firearm in an appro- priate safe storage depository or rendered it incapable of being fired by use of a gun locking device appropriate to that weapon. For purposes of this section "safe storage depository" shall mean a safe or other secure container which, when locked, is incapable of being opened with- out the key, combination or other unlocking mechanism and is capable of preventing an unauthorized person from obtaining access to and possession of the weapon contained therein. With respect to a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to 18 USC § 922(g)(9), for purposes of this section, this section applies only if such person has been convicted of a crime included in subdivision one of section 370.15 of the criminal procedure law and such gun is possessed within five years from the later of the date of conviction or completion of sentence. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect, impair or supersede any special or local act relating to the safe storage of rifles, shotguns or firearms which impose additional requirements on the owner or custodian of such weapons. A violation of this section shall constitute a class A misdemeanor. § 3. If any part or provision of this act is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such judgment shall not affect or impair any other part of provision of this act, but shall be confined in its operation to such part or provision. § 4. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law. PART AA S. 1505 91 A. 2005 Section 1. This part enacts into law major components of legislation which are necessary to reform the manner in which New York state pursues justice before trial. This state, like most across the United States, has for far too long needlessly incarcerated those meant to be guaran- teed a presumption of innocence simply because of an inability to pay bail and have forced those same people to choose between facing lengthy prison sentences or a speedy return to society without providing them with sufficient information regarding the case against them. This Part will usher into New York true reforms in the areas of bail, discovery, and speedy trial. Each component is wholly contained within a Subpart identified as Subparts A through C. The effective date for each partic- ular provision contained within such Subpart is set forth in the last section of such Subpart. Any provision in any section contained within a Subpart, including the effective date of the Subpart, which makes a reference to a section "of this act", when used in connection with that particular component, shall be deemed to mean and refer to the corre- sponding section of the Subpart in which it is found. SUBPART A Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that there is a present need to revise New York's procedures regulating release of persons charged with criminal offenses pending trial, set forth in title P of the criminal procedure law, so that fewer presumed- innocent people are held behind bars pretrial. First, the bill requires the police to issue appearance tickets in misdemeanor and class E felony cases, with enumerated exceptions, so that fewer people spend time in jail before arraignment. Then after arraignment, the bill breaks the link between paying money and earning freedom, so that defendants are either released on their own recognizance or, failing that, released under non-monetary conditions. The bill also revises the existing proc- ess of remanding individuals in jail before trial, so that pretrial detention can be ordered only in limited cases involving high risk of flight or a current risk to the physical safety of a reasonably iden- tifiable person or persons, and the order comports with Supreme Court jurisprudence regarding required substantive and procedural due process before detention. § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 150.20 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 550 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as follows: 1. (A) Whenever a police officer is authorized pursuant to section 140.10 OF THIS TITLE to arrest a person without a warrant for an offense other than a class A, B, C or D felony or a violation of section 130.25, 130.40, 205.10, 205.17, 205.19 or 215.56 of the penal law, he [may] SHALL, EXCEPT AS SET OUT IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, subject to the provisions of subdivisions three and four of section 150.40 OF THIS TITLE, instead issue to and serve upon such person an appearance ticket. (B) AN OFFICER IS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE AN APPEARANCE TICKET IF THE PERSON: (I) HAS ONE OR MORE OUTSTANDING WARRANTS; (II) HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT PROCEEDINGS; (III) HAS BEEN GIVEN A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEIR VERIFIABLE IDENTITY AND A METHOD OF CONTACT KNOWN, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE OR UNWILLING S. 1505 92 A. 2005 TO DO SO, SO THAT A CUSTODIAL ARREST IS NECESSARY TO SUBJECT THE INDI- VIDUAL TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT; (IV) IS CHARGED WITH A CRIME OR OFFENSE BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE SAME FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 530.11 OF THIS CHAPTER; (V) IS CHARGED WITH A CRIME OR OFFENSE INVOLVING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT UNDER SECTION 130.00 OF THE PENAL LAW; (VI) SHOULD, IN THE OFFICER'S ESTIMATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT FOR CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROTECTION, PURSUANT TO SECTION 530.13 OF THIS CHAPTER, BASED ON THE FACTS OF THE CRIME OR OFFENSE THAT THE OFFICER HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE OCCURRED; (VII) SHOULD, IN THE OFFICER'S ESTIMATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT FOR CONSIDERATION OF COURT-ORDERED RESTRICTIONS ON OPERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, BASED ON THE FACTS OF THE CRIME OR OFFENSE THAT THE OFFICER HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE OCCURRED; (VIII) SHOULD, IN THE OFFICER'S ESTIMATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT FOR CONSIDERATION OF COURT ORDERED MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT, BASED ON THE FACTS OF THE ALLEGED CRIME OR OFFENSE THAT THE OFFICER HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE OCCURRED AND THE OBSERVED BEHAV- IOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHEN IN CONTACT WITH THE POLICE; OR (IX) IS UNLIKELY TO RETURN TO COURT ON THE RETURN DATE OF AN APPEAR- ANCE TICKET FOR REASONS SPECIFIC TO THE FACTS OF THE CASE THAT THE OFFI- CER CAN ARTICULATE IN THE INFORMATION OR MISDEMEANOR COMPLAINT. THESE REASONS CANNOT RELY SOLELY ON THE DEFENDANT'S PRIOR CRIMINAL HISTORY OR PLACE OF RESIDENCE. § 3. Section 150.30 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED. § 4. Subdivision 1 of section 150.40 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: 1. An appearance ticket must be made returnable AT A DATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT IN NO EVENT LATER THAN TWENTY DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ISSU- ANCE. THE APPEARANCE TICKET SHALL BE MADE RETURNABLE in a local criminal court designated in section 100.55 OF THIS TITLE as one with which an information for the offense in question may be filed. § 5. Subdivisions 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of section 500.10 of the criminal procedure law are amended and a new subdivision 3-a is added to read as follows: 1. "Principal" means a defendant in a criminal action or proceeding, or a person adjudged a material witness therein, or any other person so involved therein that [he] THE PRINCIPAL may by law be compelled to appear before a court for the purpose of having such court exercise control over [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S person to secure [his] THE PRINCI- PAL'S future attendance at the action or proceeding when required, and who in fact either is before the court for such purpose or has been before it and been subjected to such control. 2. "Release on own recognizance." A court releases a principal on [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S own recognizance when, having acquired control over [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S person, it permits [him] THE PRINCIPAL to be at liberty during the pendency of the criminal action or proceeding involved upon condition that [he] THE PRINCIPAL will appear thereat whenever [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S attendance may be required and will at all times render [himself] THE PRINCIPAL amenable to the orders and processes of the court. 3-A. "RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS". A COURT RELEASES A PRIN- CIPAL UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS WHEN, HAVING ACQUIRED CONTROL OVER A PERSON, IT PERMITS THE PERSON TO BE AT LIBERTY DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CRIMINAL ACTION UNDER CONDITIONS SET BY THE COURT, WHICH SHALL BE S. 1505 93 A. 2005 THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN APPEARANCE IN COURT. SUCH CONDITIONS MAY INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THAT THE PRINCIPAL SHALL BE IN CONTACT WITH A PRETRIAL SERVICES AGENCY SERVING PRINCIPALS IN THAT COUNTY; THAT THE PRINCIPAL SHALL ABIDE BY SPECIFIED RESTRICTIONS ON ASSOCIATION OR TRAVEL THAT ARE REASONABLY RELATED TO A RISK OF FLIGHT FROM THE JURISDICTION; THAT THE PRINCIPAL SHALL REFRAIN FROM POSSESSING A FIREARM, DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE OR OTHER DANGEROUS WEAPON; THAT THE PERSON BE PLACED IN PRETRIAL SUPERVISION WITH A PRETRIAL SERVICES AGENCY SERVING PRINCIPALS IN THAT COUNTY; THAT THE PERSON BE MONITORED WITH AN APPROVED ELECTRONIC MONITORING DEVICE. A PRINCIPAL SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR ANY PART OF THE COST OF RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ELECTRONIC MONI- TORING. 4. "Commit to the custody of the sheriff." A court commits a principal to the custody of the sheriff when, having acquired control over his person, it orders that he be confined in the custody of the sheriff [during the pendency of the criminal action or proceeding involved] PENDING THE OUTCOME OF A HEARING UNDER ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE, AS TO WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL SHALL BE ORDERED INTO PRETRIAL DETENTION. 5. "Securing order" means an order of a court [committing a principal to the custody of the sheriff, or fixing bail, or releasing him on his own recognizance] THAT EITHER RELEASES A PRINCIPAL UNDER PERSONAL RECOG- NIZANCE, OR RELEASES THE PRINCIPAL UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, ALL WITH THE DIRECTION THAT THE PRINCIPAL RETURN TO COURT FOR FUTURE COURT APPEARANCES AND TO BE AT ALL TIMES AMENDABLE TO THE ORDERS AND PROCESSES OF THE COURT. 6. ["Order of recognizance or bail" means a securing order releasing a principal on his own recognizance or fixing bail] "PRETRIAL DETENTION". A COUNTY OR SUPERIOR COURT MAY COMMIT A PRINCIPAL TO PRETRIAL DETENTION IF, AFTER A HEARING AND MAKING SUCH FINDINGS AS SPECIFIED IN ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE, A JUDGE SO ORDERS DETENTION. § 6. Section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chap- ter 459 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows: § 510.10 Securing order; when required; ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE; STANDARD TO BE APPLIED. 1. When a principal, whose future court attendance at a criminal action or proceeding is or may be required, initially comes under the control of a court, such court [must] SHALL, by a securing order[, either release him on his own recognizance, fix bail or commit him to the custody of the sheriff.] RELEASE THE PRINCIPAL PENDING TRIAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE, UNLESS THE COURT FINDS ON THE RECORD THAT RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE WILL NOT REASONABLY ASSURE THE INDIVIDUAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE. IN SUCH INSTANCES, THE COURT WILL RELEASE THE INDIVID- UAL UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, SELECTING THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S COURT ATTEND- ANCE. THE COURT WILL SUPPORT ITS CHOICE OF ALTERNATIVE ON THE RECORD. 2. NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IN CASES WHERE THE PEOPLE INDICATE THAT THEY INTEND TO MOVE FOR PRETRIAL DETENTION AS SET OUT IN ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE, THE COURT MAY COMMIT THE DEFENDANT TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF OR ISSUE A SECURING ORDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE. 3. When a securing order is revoked or otherwise terminated in the course of an uncompleted action or proceeding but the principal's future court attendance still is or may be required and [he] THE PRINCIPAL is still under the control of a court, a new securing order must be issued. S. 1505 94 A. 2005 When the court revokes or otherwise terminates a securing order which committed the principal to the custody of the sheriff, the court shall give written notification to the sheriff of such revocation or termi- nation of the securing order. § 7. Section 510.20 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: § 510.20 [Application for recognizance or bail; making and determination thereof in general] APPLICATION FOR A CHANGE IN SECURING ORDER BASED ON A MATERIAL CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. 1. Upon any occasion when a court [is required to issue] HAS ISSUED a securing order with respect to a principal, [or at any time when a prin- cipal is confined in the custody of the sheriff as a result of a previ- ously issued securing order, he] THE DEFENDANT OR THE PEOPLE may make an application for [recognizance or bail] A DIFFERENT SECURING ORDER DUE TO A MATERIAL CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. 2. Upon such application, the principal OR THE PEOPLE must be accorded an opportunity to be heard and to contend that [an order of recognizance or bail] A DIFFERENT SECURING ORDER must or should issue[, that the court should release him on his own recognizance rather than fix bail, and that if bail is fixed it should be in a suggested amount and form] BECAUSE, DUE TO A MATERIAL CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CURRENT ORDER IS EITHER TOO RESTRICTIVE OR NOT RESTRICTIVE ENOUGH TO REASONABLY ENSURE A DEFENDANT'S APPEARANCE IN COURT. IN ACTING UPON SUCH AN APPLICATION, THE COURT SHALL SELECT THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE THAT WILL REASONABLY ENSURE A COURT APPEARANCE. § 8. Section 510.30 of the criminal procedure law, subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 920 of the laws of 1982, subparagraph (vi) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 as renumbered by chapter 447 of the laws of 1977, subparagraph (vii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 as added and subparagraphs (viii) and (ix) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 as renumbered by section 1 of part D of chapter 491 of the laws of 2012, and subdivision 3 as added by chapter 788 of the laws of 1981, is amended to read as follows: § 510.30 Application for [recognizance or bail] SECURING ORDER; rules of law and criteria controlling determination. [1. Determinations of applications for recognizance or bail are not in all cases discretionary but are subject to rules, prescribed in article five hundred thirty and other provisions of law relating to specific kinds of criminal actions and proceedings, providing (a) that in some circumstances such an application must as a matter of law be granted, (b) that in others it must as a matter of law be denied and the princi- pal committed to or retained in the custody of the sheriff, and (c) that in others the granting or denial thereof is a matter of judicial discretion. 2. To the extent that the issuance of an order of recognizance or bail and the terms thereof are matters of discretion rather than of law, an application is determined on the basis of the following factors and criteria: (a)] With respect to any principal, the court IN ALL CASES, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, must [consider the] IMPOSE THE LEAST RESTRIC- TIVE kind and degree of control or restriction that is necessary to secure [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S court attendance when required. In deter- mining that matter, the court must, on the basis of available informa- tion, consider and take into account: [(i) The principal's character, reputation, habits and mental condi- tion; S. 1505 95 A. 2005 (ii) His employment and financial resources; and (iii) His family ties and the length of his residence if any in the community; and (iv) His] 1. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL THAT IS RELEVANT TO COURT APPEARANCE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PRINCIPAL'S ACTIVITIES, HISTORY AND COMMUNITY TIES; 2. IF THE PRINCIPAL IS A DEFENDANT, THE CHARGES FACING THE PRINCIPAL; 3. THE PRINCIPAL'S criminal record if any; PROVIDED THAT THE COURT MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE TIME THAT HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE OCCURRENCE OF THE CRIME OR CRIMES AND THE AGE OF THE PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME OF THE OCCUR- RENCE OF SUCH DELINQUENT OR YOUTHFUL OFFENDER CONDUCT; [and (v) His] 4. THE PRINCIPAL'S record of previous adjudication as a juve- nile delinquent, as retained pursuant to section 354.2 of the family court act, or, of pending cases where fingerprints are retained pursuant to section 306.1 of such act, or a youthful offender, if any; PROVIDED THAT THE COURT MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE TIME THAT HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE OCCURRENCE OF THE CRIME OR CRIMES AND THE AGE OF THE PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH DELINQUENT OR YOUTHFUL OFFENDER CONDUCT; [and (vi) His] 5. THE PRINCIPAL'S previous record if any in responding to court appearances when required or with respect to flight to avoid crim- inal prosecution; [and (vii) Where] 6. WHERE the principal is charged with a crime or crimes against a member or members of the same family or household as that term is defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this title, the following factors: [(A)] (I) any violation by the principal of an order of protection issued by any court for the protection of a member or members of the same family or household as that term is defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this title, whether or not such order of protection is currently in effect; and [(B)] (II) the principal's history of use or possession of a firearm; [and (viii)] 7. If [he] THE PRINCIPAL is a defendant, the weight of the evidence against [him] THE PRINCIPAL in the pending criminal action and any other factor indicating probability or improbability of conviction; or, in the case of an application for [bail or recognizance] SECURING ORDER pending appeal, the merit or lack of merit of the appeal; and [(ix)] 8. If [he] THE PRINCIPAL is a defendant, the sentence which may be or has been imposed upon conviction[. (b) Where the principal is a defendant-appellant in a pending appeal from a judgment of conviction, the court must also consider the likeli- hood of ultimate reversal of the judgment. A determination that the appeal is palpably without merit alone justifies, but does not require, a denial of the application, regardless of any determination made with respect to the factors specified in paragraph (a). 3. When bail or recognizance is ordered, the court shall inform the principal, if he is a defendant charged with the commission of a felony, that the release is conditional and that the court may revoke the order of release and commit the principal to the custody of the sheriff in accordance with the provisions of subdivision two of section 530.60 of this chapter if he commits a subsequent felony while at liberty upon such order.]; AND 9. IF THE PRINCIPAL IS A DEFENDANT-APPELLANT IN A PENDING APPEAL FROM A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION, THE COURT MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE LIKELIHOOD OF ULTIMATE REVERSAL OF THE JUDGMENT. A DETERMINATION THAT THE APPEAL IS S. 1505 96 A. 2005 PALPABLY WITHOUT MERIT ALONE JUSTIFIES, BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE, A DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION, REGARDLESS OF ANY DETERMINATION MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE FACTORS SPECIFIED IN THIS PARAGRAPH. § 9. Section 510.40 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: § 510.40 [Application for recognizance or bail; determination thereof, form of securing order and execution thereof] NOTIFICATION TO PRINCIPAL BY COURT OF CONDITIONS OF RELEASE AND PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF RELEASE. 1. [An application for recognizance or bail must be determined by a securing order which either: (a) Grants the application and releases the principal on his own recognizance; or (b) Grants the application and fixes bail; or (c) Denies the application and commits the principal to, or retains him in, the custody of the sheriff. 2.] Upon ordering that a principal be released on [his] THE PRINCI- PAL'S own recognizance, OR RELEASED UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, the court must direct [him] THE PRINCIPAL to appear in the criminal action or proceeding involved whenever [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S attendance may be required and to [render himself] BE at all times amenable to the orders and processes of the court. IF THE PRINCIPAL IS A DEFENDANT, THE COURT SHALL ALSO DIRECT THE DEFENDANT NOT TO COMMIT A CRIME WHILE AT LIBERTY UPON THE COURT'S SECURING ORDER. If such principal is in the custody of the sheriff [or at liberty upon bail] at the time of the order, the court must direct that [he] THE PRINCIPAL be discharged from such custo- dy [or, as the case may be, that his bail be exonerated]. [3. Upon the issuance of an order fixing bail, and upon the posting thereof, the court must examine the bail to determine whether it complies with the order. If it does, the court must, in the absence of some factor or circumstance which in law requires or authorizes disap- proval thereof, approve the bail and must issue a certificate of release, authorizing the principal to be at liberty, and, if he is in the custody of the sheriff at the time, directing the sheriff to discharge him therefrom. If the bail fixed is not posted, or is not approved after being posted, the court must order that the principal be committed to the custody of the sheriff.] 2. IF THE PRINCIPAL IS RELEASED UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, THE COURT SHALL, IN THE DOCUMENT AUTHORIZING THE PRINCIPAL'S RELEASE, NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL OF: (A) ANY OF THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE PRINCIPAL IS SUBJECT, IN ADDITION TO THE DIRECTIONS IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION, IN A MANNER SUFFICIENTLY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC TO SERVE AS A GUIDE FOR THE PRIN- CIPAL'S CONDUCT; AND (B) THE CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATION OF THOSE CONDITIONS, WHICH COULD INCLUDE REVOKING OF THE SECURING ORDER, SETTING OF A MORE RESTRICTIVE SECURING ORDER, OR, AFTER A MOTION AND A HEARING PRESCRIBED IN ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE, PRETRIAL DETENTION. § 10. The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section 510.41 to read as follows: § 510.41 PROVISIONS REGARDING NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. 1. NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OF RELEASE SHALL, FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL, REQUIRE THE LEAST DEGREE OF RESTRICTIONS OR REQUIRED ACTIONS THAT WILL REASONABLY ENSURE THE INDIVIDUAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE. AT FUTURE COURT APPEARANCES, THE COURT SHALL CONSIDER A LESSENING OF THE CONDITIONS OR S. 1505 97 A. 2005 MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONS TO A LESS BURDENSOME FORM BASED ON THE PRIN- CIPAL'S COMPLIANCE WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. 2. (A) ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF A PRINCIPAL'S LOCATION MAY BE ORDERED ONLY IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS CHARGED WITH A FELONY, OR A MISDEMEANOR CRIME INVOLVING A PERSON WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE SAME HOUSEHOLD AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 530.11 OF THIS TITLE, AND IF THE COURT FINDS, AFTER NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AND AN INDIVIDUALIZED DETER- MINATION EXPLAINED ON THE RECORD OR IN WRITING, THAT NO OTHER NON-MONE- TARY CONDITION OR SETS OF CONDITIONS WILL REASONABLY ENSURE A PRINCI- PAL'S RETURN TO COURT. (B) THE SPECIFIC METHOD OF ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF THE PRINCIPAL'S LOCATION MUST BE APPROVED BY THE COURT. IT MUST BE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE METHOD AND PROCEDURE THAT WILL REASONABLY ENSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S RETURN TO COURT, AND UNOBTRUSIVE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. (C) ELECTRONIC MONITORING ORDERS SHALL BE REVIEWED AT LEAST EVERY SIXTY DAYS TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THEY ARE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE MEANS OF REASONABLY ENSURING AN INDIVIDUAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE AND WHETHER THERE ARE LESS BURDENSOME METHODS OF ENSURING SUCH ATTENDANCE. 3. IN THE EVENT OF NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF RELEASE, THE COURT, UPON MOTION BY THE PEOPLE AND ONLY AFTER AFFORDING THE DEFENDANT AND DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL NOTICE OF THE ALLEGED NONCOMPLIANCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD, MAY REVOKE AND MODIFY THE SECURING ORDER. IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO REVOKE AND MODIFY THE SECURING ORDER, THE COURT MUST CONSIDER THE FACTS, NATURE, WILLFULNESS, AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE NONCOMPLIANCE. THE COURT MAY ONLY SET A MORE RESTRICTIVE CONDITION OR CONDITIONS IF IT FINDS THAT SUCH CONDITIONS ARE NECESSARY TO REASONABLY ENSURE THE DEFENDANT'S APPEARANCE IN COURT. § 11. The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section 510.43 to read as follows: § 510.43 COURT APPEARANCES; ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATIONS. THE COURT, OR, UPON DIRECTION OF THE COURT, A CERTIFIED PRETRIAL SERVICES AGENCY, SHALL, IN ADDITION TO VERBAL NOTIFICATIONS DURING COURT APPEARANCES, MAKE BEST EFFORTS TO NOTIFY ALL PRINCIPALS RELEASED UNDER RECOGNIZANCE AND UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OF ALL COURT APPEARANCES IN ADVANCE BY TEXT MESSAGE, ELECTRONIC MAIL, PHONE CALL OR FIRST CLASS MAIL. THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR OF THE COURTS SHALL, PURSUANT TO SUBDIVI- SION ONE OF SECTION 10.40 OF THIS CHAPTER, DEVELOP A FORM WHICH SHALL BE OFFERED TO THE PRINCIPAL AT THE PRINCIPAL'S INITIAL COURT APPEARANCE, BY WHICH THE PRINCIPAL MAY SELECT ONE SUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF NOTICE. THE FORM SHALL BE RETAINED IN THE COURT FILE. IN NO INSTANCE, HOWEVER, SHALL THE PRINCIPAL'S FAILURE TO RECEIVE SUCH ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATIONS IN ADDITION TO VERBAL NOTIFICATION AT COURT APPEARANCES, CONSTITUTE GROUNDS TO EXCUSE THE PRINCIPAL'S FAILURE TO APPEAR AT COURT PROCEEDINGS. § 12. The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section 510.45 to read as follows: § 510.45 PRETRIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. 1. PRETRIAL SERVICES SHALL BE PROVIDED BY A COUNTY PROBATION DEPART- MENT OR NONPROFIT PRETRIAL SERVICE AGENCY. THE DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY MUST BE APPROVED BY THE DIVISION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES AND CERTIFIED BY THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION. THE DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY WILL ADVISE THE COURT ON A PRINCIPAL'S RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE OR UNDER NON- MONETARY CONDITIONS AND MONITOR PRINCIPALS RELEASED UNDER CONDITIONS OF NON-MONETARY RELEASE. THE DIVISION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES SHALL PROMULGATE REGULATIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF APPROVED PRETRIAL AGENCIES, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON PRIN- CIPALS SERVED. THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION SHALL MAINTAIN A LIST- S. 1505 98 A. 2005 ING ON ITS PUBLIC WEBSITE IDENTIFYING EACH PRETRIAL SERVICES AGENCY SO CERTIFIED IN THE STATE. A COUNTY SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY TO PROVIDE PRETRIAL SERVICES. 2. ANY CRITERIA, INSTRUMENT, OR TOOL USED TO INFORM A PRETRIAL SERVICE AGENCY'S RECOMMENDATION TO THE COURT ABOUT PRETRIAL CONDITIONS SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PRINCIPAL AND THE PRINCIPAL'S COUNSEL. ANY CRITE- RIA, INSTRUMENT OR TOOL USED MAY CONSIDER RISK OF FAILING TO APPEAR IN COURT AND SHALL NOT CONTAIN A MEASURE OF A PERSON'S GENERAL RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY. ANY BLANK FORM OF THE CRITERIA, INSTRUMENT OR TOOL USED IN THE COUNTY FOR SUCH PURPOSE SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON PROMPTLY UPON REQUEST. IF SCORES ARE CALCULATED TO PREDICT THE RISK OF FAILURE TO APPEAR, THE SCORING FORMULA SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE. ANY TOOL USED TO PREDICT FAILURE TO APPEAR SHALL BE PERIODICALLY VALIDATED, WITH VALIDATION STUDIES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. § 13. Section 510.50 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: § 510.50 Enforcement of securing order. When the attendance of a principal confined in the custody of the sheriff is required at the criminal action or proceeding at a particular time and place, the court may compel such attendance by directing the sheriff to produce [him] SUCH PRINCIPAL at such time and place. If the principal is at liberty on [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S own recognizance [or on bail] OR NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, [his] THE PRINCIPAL'S attendance may be achieved or compelled by various methods, including notification and the issuance of a bench warrant, prescribed by law in provisions govern- ing such matters with respect to the particular kind of action or proceeding involved. § 14. Article 520 of the criminal procedure law is REPEALED. § 15. The article heading of article 530 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: [ORDERS OF RECOGNIZANCE OR BAIL WITH RESPECT TO DEFENDANTS IN CRIMINAL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS--WHEN AND BY WHAT COURTS AUTHORIZED] SECURING ORDERS WITH RESPECT TO DEFENDANTS IN CRIMINAL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS - WHEN AND BY WHAT COURTS AUTHORIZED § 16.

Under circumstances prescribed in this article, a court, upon applica- tion of a defendant charged with or convicted of an offense, is [required or authorized to order bail or recognizance] TO ISSUE A SECUR- ING ORDER for the release or prospective release of such defendant during the pendency of either: 1. A criminal action based upon such charge; or 2. An appeal taken by the defendant from a judgment of conviction or a sentence or from an order of an intermediate appellate court affirming or modifying a judgment of conviction or a sentence. § 17. Subdivision 4 of section 530.11 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 186 of the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows: 4. When a person is arrested for an alleged family offense or an alleged violation of an order of protection or temporary order of protection or arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the supreme or family court, and the supreme or family court, as applicable, is not in S. 1505 99 A. 2005 session, such person shall be brought before a local criminal court in the county of arrest or in the county in which such warrant is return- able pursuant to article one hundred twenty of this chapter. Such local criminal court may issue any order authorized under subdivision eleven of section 530.12 of this article, section one hundred fifty-four-d or one hundred fifty-five of the family court act or subdivision three-b of section two hundred forty or subdivision two-a of section two hundred fifty-two of the domestic relations law, in addition to discharging other arraignment responsibilities as set forth in this chapter. In making such order, the local criminal court shall consider the [bail recommendation] SECURING ORDER, if any, made by the supreme or family court as indicated on the warrant or certificate of warrant. Unless the petitioner or complainant requests otherwise, the court, in addition to scheduling further criminal proceedings, if any, regarding such alleged family offense or violation allegation, shall make such matter return- able in the supreme or family court, as applicable, on the next day such court is in session. § 18. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 8 of section 530.13 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 388 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows: (a) revoke [an order of recognizance or bail] A SECURING ORDER and commit the defendant to custody; or § 19.

If no warrant, order or temporary order of protection has been issued by the court, and an act alleged to be a family offense as defined in section 530.11 of this [chapter] ARTICLE is the basis of the arrest, the magistrate shall permit the complainant to file a petition, information or accusatory instrument and for reasonable cause shown, shall thereupon hold such respondent or defendant, [admit to, fix or accept bail,] ESTABLISH A SECURING ORDER or parole him or her for hear- ing before the family court or appropriate criminal court as the complainant shall choose in accordance with the provisions of section 530.11 of this [chapter] ARTICLE. 11. If a defendant is brought before the court for failure to obey any lawful order issued under this section, or an order of protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in another state, territorial or tribal jurisdiction, and if, after hearing, the court is satisfied by S. 1505 100 A. 2005 competent proof that the defendant has willfully failed to obey any such order, the court may: (a) revoke [an order of recognizance or revoke an order of bail or order forfeiture of such bail] A SECURING ORDER and commit the defendant to custody; or (b) restore the case to the calendar when there has been an adjourn- ment in contemplation of dismissal and commit the defendant to custody; or (c) revoke a conditional discharge in accordance with section 410.70 of this chapter and impose probation supervision or impose a sentence of imprisonment in accordance with the penal law based on the original conviction; or (d) revoke probation in accordance with section 410.70 of this chapter and impose a sentence of imprisonment in accordance with the penal law based on the original conviction.

[When the defendant is charged, by information, simplified informa- tion, prosecutor's information or misdemeanor complaint, with an offense or offenses of less than felony grade only, the court must order recog- nizance or bail.] RELEASE THE PRINCIPAL PENDING TRIAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE, UNLESS THE COURT FINDS ON THE RECORD THAT RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE WILL NOT REASONABLY ASSURE THE INDIVIDUAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE. IN SUCH INSTANCES, THE COURT WILL RELEASE THE INDIVIDUAL UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS, SELECTING THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNA- TIVE THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE THE PRINCIPAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE. THE COURT WILL SUPPORT ITS CHOICE OF ALTERNATIVE ON THE RECORD. 2. [When the defendant is charged, by felony complaint, with a felony, the court may, in its discretion, order recognizance or bail except as otherwise provided in this subdivision: (a) A city court, a town court or a village court may not order recog- nizance or bail when (i) the defendant is charged with a class A felony, or (ii) it appears that the defendant has two previous felony convictions; (b)] NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IN CASES WHERE THE PEOPLE INDICATE THAT THEY INTEND TO MOVE FOR PRETRIAL DETENTION AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE, THE COURT MAY COMMIT THE DEFEND- ANT TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF OR ISSUE A SECURING ORDER IN ACCORD- ANCE WITH ARTICLE FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE. 3. NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IN CASES WHERE THE DEFENDANT IS FACING A CHARGE OF A CLASS A FELONY, OR IT APPEARS THAT THE DEFENDANT HAS TWO PREVIOUS FELONY CONVICTIONS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 70.08 OR 70.10 OF THE PENAL LAW; THE COURT SHALL COMMIT THE DEFENDANT TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF FOR THE COUNTY OR SUPERIOR COURT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT A SECURING ORDER WITHIN THREE DAYS. S. 1505 101 A. 2005 4. No local criminal court may order [recognizance or bail] A SECURING ORDER with respect to a defendant charged with a felony unless and until[: (i) The district attorney has been heard in the matter or, after know- ledge or notice of the application and reasonable opportunity to be heard, has failed to appear at the proceeding or has otherwise waived his right to do so; and (ii) The] THE court [has], AND COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE, HAVE been furnished with a report of the division of criminal justice services concerning the defendant's criminal record, if any, or with a police department report with respect to the defendant's prior arrest AND CONVICTION record, IF ANY. If neither report is available, the court, with the consent of the district attorney, may dispense with this requirement; provided, however, that in an emergency, including but not limited to a substantial impairment in the ability of such division or police department to timely furnish such report, such consent shall not be required if, for reasons stated on the record, the court deems it unnecessary. [When the court has been furnished with any such report or record, it shall furnish a copy thereof to counsel for the defendant or, if the defendant is not represented by counsel, to the defendant.] § 22. The section heading, subdivisions 1 and 2 of section 530.30 of the criminal procedure law, subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 762 of the laws of 1971, are amended to read as follows: [Order of recognizance or bail; by superior court judge when action is pending in local criminal court] SECURING ORDER BY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE WHEN ACTION IS PENDING IN LOCAL CRIMINAL COURT. 1. When a criminal action is pending in a local criminal court, other than one consisting of a superior court judge sitting as such, a judge of a superior court holding a term thereof in the county, upon applica- tion of a defendant, may order [recognizance or bail] A SECURING ORDER when such local criminal court: (a) Lacks authority to issue such an order, pursuant to [paragraph (a) of] subdivision [two] THREE of section 530.20[; or (b) Has denied an application for recognizance or bail; or (c) Has fixed bail which is excessive;] OR (B) HAS SET A SECURING ORDER OF RELEASE UNDER NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS WHICH ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN NECESSARY TO REASONABLY ENSURE COURT ATTENDANCE. In such case, such superior court judge may vacate the order of such local criminal court and release the defendant on [his own] recognizance [or fix bail in a lesser amount or in a less burdensome form,] OR UNDER RELEASE WITH CONDITIONS, WHICHEVER IS THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE THAT WILL REASONABLY ASSURE DEFENDANT'S APPEARANCE IN COURT. THE COURT WILL SUPPORT ITS CHOICE OF ALTERNATIVE ON THE RECORD. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision one OF THIS SECTION, when the defendant is charged with a felony in a local criminal court, a superior court judge may not [order recognizance or bail] ISSUE A SECUR- ING ORDER unless and until the district attorney has had an opportunity to be heard in the matter and such judge [has] AND COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT HAVE been furnished with a report as described in [subpara- graph (ii) of paragraph (b) of] subdivision [two] FOUR of section 530.20. § 23. Section 530.40 of the criminal procedure law, subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 264 of the laws of 2003, and subdivision 4 as amended by chapter 762 of the laws of 1971, is amended to read as follows: S. 1505 102 A. 2005 § 530.40 [Order of recognizance or bail;] SECURING ORDER by superior court when action is pending therein.

[When the defendant is charged with an offense or offenses of less than felony grade only, the court must order recognizance or bail. 2. When the defendant is charged with a felony, the court may, in its discretion, order recognizance or bail. In any such case in which an indictment (a) has resulted from an order of a local criminal court holding the defendant for the action of the grand jury, or (b) was filed at a time when a felony complaint charging the same conduct was pending in a local criminal court, and in which such local criminal court or a superior court judge has issued an order of recognizance or bail which is still effective, the superior court's order may be in the form of a direction continuing the effectiveness of the previous order.] RELEASE THE PRINCIPAL PENDING TRIAL ON THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE, UNLESS THE COURT FINDS ON THE RECORD THAT RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE WILL NOT REASONABLY ASSURE THE INDIVIDUAL'S COURT ATTENDANCE.

An attorney for a defendant in a criminal action or proceeding, as an officer of a criminal court, may issue a subpoena of such court, subscribed by himself, for the attendance in such court of any witness whom the defendant is entitled to call in such action or proceeding. An attorney for a defendant may not issue a subpoena duces tecum of the court directed to any department, bureau or agency of the state or of a political subdivision thereof, or to any officer or representative ther- eof, UNLESS THE SUBPOENA IS ENDORSED BY THE COURT AND PROVIDES AT LEAST THREE DAYS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE REQUESTED MATERIALS. IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, THE COURT MAY BY ORDER DISPENSE WITH THE THREE-DAY PRODUCTION PERIOD. Such a subpoena duces tecum may be issued in behalf of a defendant upon order of a court pursuant to the rules applicable to civil cases as provided in section twenty-three hundred seven of the civil practice law and rules. 4. THE SHOWING REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN ANY SUBPOENA UNDER THIS SECTION IS THAT THE TESTIMONY OR EVIDENCE SOUGHT IS REASONABLY LIKELY TO BE RELE- VANT AND MATERIAL TO THE PROCEEDINGS, AND THE SUBPOENA IS NOT OVERBROAD OR UNREASONABLY BURDENSOME. § 4. Section 65.20 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 505 of the laws of 1985, subdivision 2 as added, the opening paragraph of subdivision 10 as amended and subdivisions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 as renumbered by chapter 548 of the laws of 2007, subdivi- sion 7 and paragraph (k) of subdivision 10 as amended by chapter 320 of the laws of 2006 and subdivisions 11 and 12 as amended by chapter 455 of the laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows: § 65.20 Closed-circuit television; procedure for application and grounds for determination. 1. Prior to the commencement of a criminal proceeding; other than a grand jury proceeding, either party may apply to the court for an order declaring that a child witness is vulnerable. 2. A child witness should be declared vulnerable when the court, in accordance with the provisions of this section, determines by clear and convincing evidence that the child witness would suffer serious mental or emotional harm that would substantially impair the child witness' ability to communicate with the finder of fact without the use of live, two-way closed-circuit television. 3. A motion pursuant to subdivision one of this section must be made in writing at least eight days before the commencement of trial or other criminal proceeding upon reasonable notice to the other party and with an opportunity to be heard. 4. The motion papers must state the basis for the motion and must contain sworn allegations of fact which, if true, would support a deter- mination by the court that the child witness is vulnerable. Such allega- tions may be based upon the personal knowledge of the deponent or upon S. 1505 121 A. 2005 information and belief, provided that, in the latter event, the sources of such information and the grounds for such belief are stated. 5. The answering papers may admit or deny any of the alleged facts and may, in addition, contain sworn allegations of fact relevant to the motion, including the rights of the defendant, the need to protect the child witness and the integrity of the truth-finding function of the trier of fact. 6. Unless all material facts alleged in support of the motion made pursuant to subdivision one of this section are conceded, the court shall, in addition to examining the papers and hearing oral argument, conduct an appropriate hearing for the purpose of making findings of fact essential to the determination of the motion. Except as provided in subdivision [six] SEVEN of this section, it may subpoena or call and examine witnesses, who must either testify under oath or be permitted to give unsworn testimony pursuant to subdivision two of section 60.20 and must authorize the attorneys for the parties to do the same. 7. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the child witness who is alleged to be vulnerable may not be compelled to testify at such hearing or to submit to any psychological or psychiatric examination. The failure of the child witness to testify at such hearing shall not be a ground for denying a motion made pursuant to subdivision one of this section. Prior statements made by the child witness relating to any allegations of conduct constituting an offense defined in article one hundred thirty of the penal law or incest as defined in section 255.25, 255.26 or 255.27 of such law or to any allegation of words or conduct constituting an attempt to prevent, impede or deter the child witness from cooperating in the investigation or prosecution of the offense shall be admissible at such hearing, provided, however, that a declara- tion that a child witness is vulnerable may not be based solely upon such prior statements. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of article forty-five of the civil practice law and rules, any physician, psychologist, nurse or social worker who has treated a child witness may testify at a hearing conducted pursuant to subdivision [five] SIX of this section concerning the treatment of such child witness as such treatment relates to the issue presented at the hearing, provided that any otherwise applicable statutory privileges concerning communications between the child witness and such physician, psychologist, nurse or social worker in connection with such treatment shall not be deemed waived by such testimony alone, except to the limited extent of permitting the court alone to examine in camera reports, records or documents, if any, prepared by such physi- cian, psychologist, nurse or social worker. If upon such examination the court determines that such reports, records or documents, or any one or portion thereof, contain information material and relevant to the issue of whether the child witness is a vulnerable child witness, the court shall disclose such information to both the attorney for the defendant and the district attorney. (b) At any time after a motion has been made pursuant to subdivision one of this section, upon the demand of the other party the moving party must furnish the demanding party with a copy of any and all of such records, reports or other documents in the possession of such other party and must, in addition, supply the court with a copy of all such reports, records or other documents which are the subject of the demand. At any time after a demand has been made pursuant to this paragraph, the moving party may demand that property of the same kind or character in possession of the party that originally made such demand be furnished to S. 1505 122 A. 2005 the moving party and, if so furnished, be supplied, in addition, to the court. 9. (a) Prior to the commencement of the hearing conducted pursuant to subdivision [five] SIX of this section, the district attorney shall, subject to a protective order, comply with the provisions of PARAGRAPH (C) OF subdivision one of section [240.45] 245.20 of this chapter as they concern any witness whom the district attorney intends to call at the hearing and the child witness. (b) Before a defendant calls a witness at such hearing, he or she must, subject to a protective order, comply with the provisions of subdivision [two] FOUR of section [240.45] 245.20 of this chapter as they concern all the witnesses the defendant intends to call at such hearing. 10. The court may consider, in determining whether there are factors which would cause the child witness to suffer serious mental or emotional harm, a finding that any one or more of the following circum- stances have been established by clear and convincing evidence: (a) The manner of the commission of the offense of which the defendant is accused was particularly heinous or was characterized by aggravating circumstances. (b) The child witness is particularly young or otherwise particularly subject to psychological harm on account of a physical or mental condi- tion which existed before the alleged commission of the offense. (c) At the time of the alleged offense, the defendant occupied a posi- tion of authority with respect to the child witness. (d) The offense or offenses charged were part of an ongoing course of conduct committed by the defendant against the child witness over an extended period of time. (e) A deadly weapon or dangerous instrument was allegedly used during the commission of the crime. (f) The defendant has inflicted serious physical injury upon the child witness. (g) A threat, express or implied, of physical violence to the child witness or a third person if the child witness were to report the inci- dent to any person or communicate information to or cooperate with a court, grand jury, prosecutor, police officer or peace officer concern- ing the incident has been made by or on behalf of the defendant. (h) A threat, express or implied, of the incarceration of a parent or guardian of the child witness, the removal of the child witness from the family or the dissolution of the family of the child witness if the child witness were to report the incident to any person or communicate information to or cooperate with a court, grand jury, prosecutor, police officer or peace officer concerning the incident has been made by or on behalf of the defendant. (i) A witness other than the child witness has received a threat of physical violence directed at such witness or to a third person by or on behalf of the defendant. (j) The defendant, at the time of the inquiry, (i) is living in the same household with the child witness, (ii) has ready access to the child witness or (iii) is providing substantial financial support for the child witness. (k) The child witness has previously been the victim of an offense defined in article one hundred thirty of the penal law or incest as defined in section 255.25, 255.26 or 255.27 of such law. S. 1505 123 A. 2005 (l) According to expert testimony, the child witness would be partic- ularly [suceptible] SUSCEPTIBLE to psychological harm if required to testify in open court or in the physical presence of the defendant. 11. Irrespective of whether a motion was made pursuant to subdivision one of this section, the court, at the request of either party or on its own motion, may decide that a child witness may be vulnerable based on its own observations that a child witness who has been called to testify at a criminal proceeding is suffering severe mental or emotional harm and therefore is physically or mentally unable to testify or to continue to testify in open court or in the physical presence of the defendant and that the use of live, two-way closed-circuit television is necessary to enable the child witness to testify. If the court so decides, it must conduct the same hearing that subdivision [five] SIX of this section requires when a motion is made pursuant to subdivision one of this section, and it must make findings of fact pursuant to subdivisions [nine] TEN and [eleven] TWELVE of this section, before determining that the child witness is vulnerable. 12. In deciding whether a child witness is vulnerable, the court shall make findings of fact which reflect the causal relationship between the existence of any one or more of the factors set forth in subdivision [nine] TEN of this section or other relevant factors which the court finds are established and the determination that the child witness is vulnerable. If the court is satisfied that the child witness is vulner- able and that, under the facts and circumstances of the particular case, the defendant's constitutional rights to an impartial jury or of confrontation will not be impaired, it may enter an order granting the application for the use of live, two-way closed-circuit television. 13. When the court has determined that a child witness is a vulnerable child witness, it shall make a specific finding as to whether placing the defendant and the child witness in the same room during the testimo- ny of the child witness will contribute to the likelihood that the child witness will suffer severe mental or emotional harm. If the court finds that placing the defendant and the child witness in the same room during the testimony of the child witness will contribute to the likelihood that the child witness will suffer severe mental or emotional harm, the order entered pursuant to subdivision [eleven] TWELVE of this section shall direct that the defendant remain in the courtroom during the testimony of the vulnerable child witness. § 5. Subdivision 5 of section 200.95 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 558 of the laws of 1982, is amended to read as follows: 5. Court ordered bill of particulars. Where a prosecutor has timely served a written refusal pursuant to subdivision four of this section and upon motion, made in writing, of a defendant, who has made a request for a bill of particulars and whose request has not been complied with in whole or in part, the court must, to the extent a protective order is not warranted, order the prosecutor to comply with the request if it is satisfied that the items of factual information requested are authorized to be included in a bill of particulars, and that such information is necessary to enable the defendant adequately to prepare or conduct his defense and, if the request was untimely, a finding of good cause for the delay. Where a prosecutor has not timely served a written refusal pursuant to subdivision four of this section the court must, unless it is satisfied that the people have shown good cause why such an order should not be issued, issue an order requiring the prosecutor to comply or providing for any other order authorized by [subdivision one of section 240.70] SECTION 245.80 OF THIS PART. S. 1505 124 A. 2005 § 6. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 255.10 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 763 of the laws of 1974, is amended to read as follows: (c) granting discovery pursuant to article [240] 245; or § 7.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, whether the defend- ant is represented by counsel or elects to proceed pro se, all pre-trial motions shall be served or filed within forty-five days after arraign- ment and before commencement of trial, or within such additional time as the court may fix upon application of the defendant made prior to entry of judgment. In an action in which EITHER (A) MATERIAL OR INFORMATION HAS BEEN DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (M) OR (N) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 245.20, (B) an eavesdropping warrant and application have been furnished pursuant to section 700.70, or (C) a notice of intention to introduce evidence has been served pursuant to section 710.30, such period shall be extended until forty-five days after the last date of such service. If the defendant is not represented by counsel and has requested an adjournment to obtain counsel or to have counsel assigned, such forty-five day period shall commence on the date counsel initially appears on defendant's behalf. § 8. Section 340.30 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read as follows: § 340.30 Pre-trial discovery and notices of defenses. The provisions of article two hundred [forty] FORTY-FIVE, concerning pre-trial discovery by a defendant under indictment in a superior court, and article two hundred fifty, concerning pre-trial notice to the people by a defendant under indictment in a superior court who intends to advance a trial defense of mental disease or defect or of alibi, apply to a prosecution of an information in a local criminal court. § 9. Subdivision 14 of section 400.27 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 1 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: 14. (a) At a reasonable time prior to the sentencing proceeding or a mental retardation hearing: [(i)] the prosecutor shall, unless previously disclosed and subject to a protective order, make available to the defendant the statements and information specified in subdivision one of section [240.45] 245.20 OF THIS PART and make available for inspection, photographing, copying or testing the property specified in subdivision one of section [240.20; and (ii) the defendant shall, unless previously disclosed and subject to a protective order, make available to the prosecution the statements and information specified in subdivision two of section 240.45 and make available for inspection, photographing, copying or testing, subject to constitutional limitations, the reports, documents and other property specified in subdivision one of section 240.30] 245.20 OF THIS PART. (b) Where a party refuses to make disclosure pursuant to this section, the provisions of section [240.35, subdivision one of section 240.40 and section 240.50] 245.70, 245.75 AND/OR 245.80 OF THIS PART shall apply. (c) If, after complying with the provisions of this section or an order pursuant thereto, a party finds either before or during a sentenc- ing proceeding or mental retardation hearing, additional material subject to discovery or covered by court order, the party shall promptly make disclosure or apply for a protective order. S. 1505 125 A. 2005 (d) If the court finds that a party has failed to comply with any of the provisions of this section, the court may [enter] EMPLOY any of the [orders] REMEDIES OR SANCTIONS specified in subdivision one of section [240.70] 245.80 OF THIS PART. § 10. The opening paragraph of paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 440.30 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 19 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows: In conjunction with the filing or consideration of a motion to vacate a judgment pursuant to section 440.10 of this article by a defendant convicted after a trial, in cases where the court has ordered an eviden- tiary hearing upon such motion, the court may order that the people produce or make available for inspection property[, as defined in subdi- vision three of section 240.10 of this part,] in its possession, custo- dy, or control that was secured in connection with the investigation or prosecution of the defendant upon credible allegations by the defendant and a finding by the court that such property, if obtained, would be probative to the determination of defendant's actual innocence, and that the request is reasonable. The court shall deny or limit such a request upon a finding that such a request, if granted, would threaten the integrity or chain of custody of property or the integrity of the proc- esses or functions of a laboratory conducting DNA testing, pose a risk of harm, intimidation, embarrassment, reprisal, or other substantially negative consequences to any person, undermine the proper functions of law enforcement including the confidentiality of informants, or on the basis of any other factor identified by the court in the interests of justice or public safety. The court shall further ensure that any prop- erty produced pursuant to this paragraph is subject to a protective order, where appropriate. The court shall deny any request made pursuant to this paragraph where: § 11. Subdivision 10 of section 450.10 of the penal law, as added by chapter 795 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows: 10. Where there has been a failure to comply with the provisions of this section, and where the district attorney does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the court that such failure has not caused the defendant prejudice, the court shall instruct the jury that it may consider such failure in determining the weight to be given such evidence and may also impose any other sanction set forth in subdivision one of section [240.70] 245.80 of the criminal procedure law; provided, however, that unless the defendant has convinced the court that such failure has caused him undue prejudice, the court shall not preclude the district attorney from introducing into evidence the property, photo- graphs, photocopies, or other reproductions of the property or, where appropriate, testimony concerning its value and condition, where such evidence is otherwise properly authenticated and admissible under the rules of evidence. Failure to comply with any one or more of the provisions of this section shall not for that reason alone be grounds for dismissal of the accusatory instrument. § 12. Section 460.80 of the penal law, as added by chapter 516 of the laws of 1986, is amended to read as follows: § 460.80 Court ordered disclosure.

The court may issue S. 1505 126 A. 2005 a protective order denying, limiting, conditioning, delaying or regulat- ing such discovery where a danger to the integrity of physical evidence or a substantial risk of physical harm, intimidation, economic reprisal, bribery or unjustified annoyance or embarrassment to any person or an adverse effect upon the legitimate needs of law enforcement, including the protection of the confidentiality of informants, or any other factor or set of factors outweighs the usefulness of the discovery. § 13. Subdivision 5 of section 480.10 of the penal law, as added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows: 5. In addition to information required to be disclosed pursuant to article two hundred [forty] FORTY-FIVE of the criminal procedure law, when forfeiture is sought pursuant to this article, and following the defendant's arraignment on the special forfeiture information, the court shall order discovery of any information not otherwise disclosed which is material and reasonably necessary for preparation by the defendant with respect to a forfeiture proceeding brought pursuant to this arti- cle. Such material shall include those portions of the grand jury minutes and such other information which pertain solely to the special forfeiture information and shall not include information which pertains to the criminal charges. Upon application of the prosecutor, the court may issue a protective order pursuant to section [240.40] 245.70 of the criminal procedure law with respect to any information required to be disclosed pursuant to this subdivision. § 14.

ANY SUCH EXCLUSION WHEN A STATEMENT OF UNREADINESS HAS FOLLOWED A STATEMENT OF READINESS MADE BY THE PEOPLE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY SUPPORTING FACTS AND APPROVED BY THE COURT. THE COURT SHALL INQUIRE ON THE RECORD AS TO THE REASONS FOR THE PEOPLE'S UNREADINESS; OR (h) the period during which an action has been adjourned in contem- plation of dismissal pursuant to sections 170.55, 170.56 and 215.10 of this chapter[.]; OR (i) [The] THE period prior to the defendant's actual appearance for arraignment in a situation in which the defendant has been directed to appear by the district attorney pursuant to subdivision three of section 120.20 or subdivision three of section 210.10[.]; OR (j) the period during which a family offense is before a family court until such time as an accusatory instrument or indictment is filed against the defendant alleging a crime constituting a family offense, as such term is defined in section 530.11 of this chapter. 5.

(b) The committee shall: i. furnish to any agency AND TO EACH HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE advisory guidelines, opinions or other appropriate information regarding this article; ii. furnish to any person advisory opinions or other appropriate information regarding this article; iii. promulgate rules and regulations with respect to the implementa- tion of subdivision one and paragraph (c) of subdivision three of section eighty-seven of this article; iv. request from any agency AND FROM EITHER HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGIS- LATURE such assistance, services and information as will enable the committee to effectively carry out its powers and duties; v. develop a form, which shall be made available on the internet, that may be used by the public to request a record; and vi. report on its activities and findings regarding this article and article seven of this chapter, including recommendations for changes in the law, to the governor and the legislature annually, on or before December fifteenth. S. 1505 141 A. 2005 2. (a) The committee on [public access to records] OPEN GOVERNMENT may promulgate guidelines regarding deletion of identifying details or with- holding of records otherwise available under this article to prevent unwarranted invasions of personal privacy. In the absence of such guide- lines, an agency AND THE RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF STATE LEGISLATURE may delete identifying details when it makes records available. (b) An unwarranted invasion of personal privacy includes, but shall not be limited to: i. disclosure of employment, medical or credit histories or personal references of applicants for employment; ii. disclosure of items involving the medical or personal records of a client or patient in a medical facility; iii. sale or release of lists of names and addresses if such lists would be used for solicitation or fund-raising purposes; iv. disclosure of information of a personal nature when disclosure would result in economic or personal hardship to the subject party and such information is not relevant to the work of the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE requesting or maintaining it; v. disclosure of information of a personal nature reported in confi- dence to an agency OR TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE and not relevant to the ordinary work of such agency OR THE STATE LEGISLATURE; vi. information of a personal nature contained in a workers' compen- sation record, except as provided by section one hundred ten-a of the workers' compensation law; [or] vii. disclosure of electronic contact information, such as an e-mail address or a social network username, that has been collected from a taxpayer under section one hundred four of the real property tax law; OR VIII. DISCLOSURE OF COMMUNICATIONS OF A PERSONAL NATURE BETWEEN LEGIS- LATORS AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS. (c) Unless otherwise provided by this article, disclosure shall not be construed to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subdivision: i. when identifying details are deleted; ii. when the person to whom a record pertains consents in writing to disclosure; iii. when upon presenting reasonable proof of identity, a person seeks access to records pertaining to him or her; or iv. when a record or group of records relates to the right, title or interest in real property, or relates to the inventory, status or char- acteristics of real property, in which case disclosure and providing copies of such record or group of records shall not be deemed an unwar- ranted invasion of personal privacy, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to authorize the disclosure of electronic contact informa- tion, such as an e-mail address or a social network username, that has been collected from a taxpayer under section one hundred four of the real property tax law. 2-a. Nothing in this article shall permit disclosure which constitutes an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy as defined in subdivision two of this section if such disclosure is prohibited under section nine- ty-six of this chapter. 3. (a) Each entity subject to the provisions of this article, within five business days of the receipt of a written request for a record reasonably described, shall make such record available to the person requesting it, deny such request in writing or furnish a written acknowledgement of the receipt of such request and a statement of the approximate date, which shall be reasonable under the circumstances of S. 1505 142 A. 2005 the request, when such request will be granted or denied, including, where appropriate, a statement that access to the record will be deter- mined in accordance with subdivision five of this section. [An] NEITHER AN agency NOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE shall [not] deny a request on the basis that the request is voluminous or that locating or reviewing the requested records or providing the requested copies is burdensome because the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE lacks sufficient staffing or on any other basis if the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE may engage an outside professional service to provide copying, programming or other services required to provide the copy, the costs of which the agency may recover pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section eighty-seven of this arti- cle. An agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE may require a person requesting lists of names and addresses to provide a written certification that such person will not use such lists of names and addresses for solicitation or fund-raising purposes and will not sell, give or otherwise make available such lists of names and addresses to any other person for the purpose of allowing that person to use such lists of names and addresses for solicitation or fund-raising purposes. If an agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE determines to grant a request in whole or in part, and if circumstances prevent disclosure to the person requesting the record or records within twenty business days from the date of the acknowledgement of the receipt of the request, the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE shall state, in writing, both the reason for the inability to grant the request within twenty business days and a date certain within a reason- able period, depending on the circumstances, when the request will be granted in whole or in part. Upon payment of, or offer to pay, the fee prescribed therefor, the entity shall provide a copy of such record and certify to the correctness of such copy if so requested, or as the case may be, shall certify that it does not have possession of such record or that such record cannot be found after diligent search. Nothing in this article shall be construed to require any entity to prepare any record not possessed or maintained by such entity except the records specified in subdivision three of section eighty-seven [and subdivision three of section eighty-eight] of this article. When an agency OR THE RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE has the ability to retrieve or extract a record or data maintained in a computer storage system with reasonable effort, it shall be required to do so. When doing so requires less employee time than engaging in manual retrieval or redactions from non- electronic records, the agency AND RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGIS- LATURE shall be required to retrieve or extract such record or data electronically. Any programming necessary to retrieve a record main- tained in a computer storage system and to transfer that record to the medium requested by a person or to allow the transferred record to be read or printed shall not be deemed to be the preparation or creation of a new record. (b) All entities shall, provided such entity has reasonable means available, accept requests for records submitted in the form of elec- tronic mail and shall respond to such requests by electronic mail, using forms, to the extent practicable, consistent with the form or forms developed by the committee on open government pursuant to subdivision one of this section and provided that the written requests do not seek a response in some other form. S. 1505 143 A. 2005 (c) Each state agency, as defined in subdivision five of this section, that maintains a website shall ensure its website provides for the online submission of a request for records pursuant to this article. 4. (a) Except as provided in subdivision five of this section, any person denied access to a record may within thirty days appeal in writ- ing such denial to the head, chief executive or governing body of the entity, or the person therefor designated by such head, chief executive, or governing body, who shall within ten business days of the receipt of such appeal fully explain in writing to the person requesting the record the reasons for further denial, or provide access to the record sought. In addition, each agency OR THE RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLA- TURE shall immediately forward to the committee on open government a copy of such appeal when received by the agency OR SUCH HOUSE and the ensuing determination thereon. Failure by an agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE to conform to the provisions of subdivision three of this section shall constitute a denial. (b) Except as provided in subdivision five of this section, a person denied access to a record in an appeal determination under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subdivision may bring a proceeding for review of such denial pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules. In the event that access to any record is denied pursuant to the provisions of subdivision two of section eighty-seven of this article, the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE involved shall have the burden of proving that such record falls within the provisions of such subdivision two. Failure by an agency OR RESPEC- TIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE to conform to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall constitute a denial. (c) The court in such a proceeding: (i) may assess, against such agen- cy involved, reasonable attorney's fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred by such person in any case under the provisions of this section in which such person has substantially prevailed, and when the agency failed to respond to a request or appeal within the statutory time; and (ii) shall assess, against such agency involved, reasonable attorney's fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred by such person in any case under the provisions of this section in which such person has substantially prevailed and the court finds that the agency had no reasonable basis for denying access. (d) (i) Appeal to the appellate division of the supreme court must be made in accordance with subdivision (a) of section fifty-five hundred thirteen of the civil practice law and rules. (ii) An appeal from an agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGIS- LATURE taken from an order of the court requiring disclosure of any of all records sought: (A) shall be given preference; (B) shall be brought on for argument on such terms and conditions as the presiding justice may direct, upon application of any party to the proceedings; and (C) shall be deemed abandoned if the agency OR RESPECTIVE HOUSE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE fails to serve and file a record and brief within sixty days after the date of service upon the petitioner of the notice of appeal, unless consent to further extension is given by all parties, or unless further extension is granted by the court upon such terms as may be just and upon good cause shown. 5.

(1) Within forty-five days after a bill FOR MEDICAL CARE OR SUPPLIES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION THIRTEEN OF THIS ARTICLE has been rendered to the employer [by the hospital, physician or self-employed physical or occupational therapist who has rendered treatment pursuant to a referral from the injured employee's authorized physician or authorized podiatrist for treatment to the injured employee], such employer must pay the bill or notify the [hospital, physician or self-employed physical or occupational therapist in writing] MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER IN THE FORMAT PRESCRIBED BY THE CHAIR that the bill is not being paid and explain the reasons for non-payment. In the event that the employer fails to make payment or notify the [hospital, physician or self-employed physical or occupa- tional therapist] MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER within such forty- five day period that payment is not being made, the [hospital, physi- cian, self-employed physical therapist or self-employed occupational therapist] MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER may notify THE BOARD IN THE FORMAT PRESCRIBED BY the chair [in writing] that the bill has not been paid and request that the board make an award for payment of such bill. The board or the chair may make an award not in excess of the estab- lished fee schedules for any such bill or part thereof which remains unpaid after said forty-five day period or thirty days after all other questions duly and timely raised in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, relating to the employer's liability for the payment of such amount, shall have been finally determined adversely to the employ- er, whichever is later, in accordance with rules promulgated by the chair, and such award may be collected in like manner as an award of compensation. The chair shall assess the sum of fifty dollars against the employer for each such award made by the board, which sum shall be paid into the state treasury. In the event that the employer has provided an explanation in writing why the bill has not been paid, in part or in full, within the aforesaid time period, and the parties can not agree as to the value of medical aid rendered under this chapter, such value shall be decided by arbi- tration [if requested by the hospital, physician or self-employed phys- ical or occupational therapist, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision two or subdivision three of this section, as appropriate, and] AS SET FORTH IN rules and regulations promulgated by the chair. Where a [physician, physical or occupational therapist] bill FOR MEDICAL CARE OR SUPPLIES has been determined to be due and owing in accordance with the provisions of this section the board shall include in the amount of the award interest of not more than one and one-half [per cent] PERCENT (1 1/2%) per month payable to the [physician, phys- ical or occupational therapist] MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER, in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the board. Interest shall be calculated from the forty-fifth day after the bill was rendered or from the thirtieth day after all other questions duly and timely raised in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, relat- ing to the employer's liability for the payment of such amount, shall S. 1505 155 A. 2005 have been finally determined adversely to the employer, whichever is later, in accordance with rules promulgated by the chair. (2) (a) If the parties fail to agree to the value of medical aid rendered under this chapter and the amount of the disputed bill is one thousand dollars or less, or if the amount of the disputed medical bill exceeds one thousand dollars and the [health] MEDICAL care provider OR SUPPLIER expressly so requests, such value shall be decided by a single arbitrator process, pursuant to rules promulgated by the chair. [The chair shall appoint a physician who is a member in good standing of the medical society of the state of New York to determine the value of such disputed medical bill. Where the physician whose charges are being arbitrated is a member in good standing of the New York osteopathic society, the value of such disputed bill shall be determined by a member in good standing of the New York osteopathic society appointed by the chair.

Where the value of physical therapy services or occupational therapy services is at issue, such value shall be determined by a member in good standing of a recognized professional association representing its respective profession in the state of New York appointed by the chair.] Decisions rendered under the single arbitrator process shall be conclusive upon the parties as to the value of the services in dispute. (b) If the parties fail to agree as to the value of medical aid rendered under this chapter and the amount of the disputed bill exceeds one thousand dollars, such value shall be decided by an arbitration committee unless the [health] MEDICAL care provider OR SUPPLIER express- ly requests a single arbitrator process in accordance with paragraph (a) of this subdivision.

If the physician whose charges are being arbitrated is a member in good standing of the New York osteopathic society or the New York homeopathic society, the members of such arbitration committee shall be physicians of such organization, one to be appointed by the president of that organization, one by the employer or carrier and the third by the chair of the workers' compensation board. Where the value of physical therapy services is at issue and the amount of the disputed bill exceeds one thousand dollars, the arbitration committee shall consist of a member in good standing of a recognized professional asso- ciation representing physical therapists in the state of New York appointed by the president of such organization, a physician designated by the employer or carrier and a physician designated by the chair of the workers' compensation board provided however, that the chair finds that there are a sufficient number of physical therapy arbitrations in a geographical area comprised of one or more counties to warrant a commit- tee so comprised. In all other cases where the value of physical therapy services is at issue and the amount of the disputed bill exceeds one thousand dollars, the arbitration committee shall be similarly selected and identical in composition, provided that the physical therapist member shall serve without remuneration, and provided further that in the event a physical therapist is not available, the committee shall be S. 1505 156 A. 2005 comprised of three physicians designated in the same manner as in cases where the value of medical aid is at issue.

Decisions rendered under the administrative resolution procedure shall be conclusive upon the parties as to the value of the services in dispute. (b) If an employer shall have notified the hospital in writing, as provided in subdivision one of this section, why the bill has not been paid, in part or in full, and the amount of the disputed bill exceeds one thousand dollars, the value of such bill shall be determined by an arbitration committee appointed by the chair for that purpose, which committee shall consider all of the charges of the hospital, unless the hospital expressly requests a single arbitrator process pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision. The committee shall consist of three physicians. One member of the committee may be nominated by the chair upon recommendation of the president of the hospital association of New York state and one member may be nominated by the employer or insurance carrier.

The chair may make reasonable rules and regulations consistent with the provisions of this section. (4)] A provider OR SUPPLIER initiating an arbitration, including a single arbitrator process, pursuant to this section shall not pay a fee to cover the costs related to the conduct of such arbitration. [Each member of an arbitration committee for medical bills, and each member of an arbitration committee for hospital bills shall be entitled to receive and shall be paid a fee for each day's attendance at an arbitration S. 1505 157 A. 2005 session in any one count in an amount fixed by the chair of the workers' compensation board.

Such award shall be made to the [physician, podiatrist, or hospital] MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER OR SUPPLIER entitled thereto. A default in the payment of such award may be enforced in the manner provided for the enforcement of compensation awards as set forth in section twenty-six of this [chapter] ARTICLE. In all cases coming under this subdivision the payment of the claim [of the physician, podiatrist, or hospital for medical, podiatry, or surgical services or treatment] FOR MEDICAL CARE OR SUPPLIES shall be subordinate to that of the claimant or his OR HER beneficiaries. [(6) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, arbitration regarding payments for inpatient hospital services for any patient discharged on or after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-one and prior to December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-six shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph (d) of subdivision three of section twenty-eight hundred seven-c of the public health law.] § 4.

If the injury or condition is one which is without the limits prescribed by the education law for [podiatry] PODIATRIC MEDICAL care and treatment, or the injuries involved affect other parts of the body in addition to the foot, the said podiatrist must so advise the said injured employee and instruct him or her to consult a physician of said employee's choice for appropriate care and treatment. Such physician shall thenceforth have overall supervision of the treatment of said patient including the future treatment to be administered to the patient by the podiatrist. If for any reason during the period when [podiatry] PODIATRIC MEDICAL treatment and care is required, the employee wishes to transfer his or her treatment and care to another authorized podiatrist he or she may do so, in accordance with rules prescribed by the chair, provided however that the employer shall be liable for the proper fees of the original podiatrist for the care and treatment he or she shall have rendered. [A podiatrist licensed and registered to practice podia- try in the state of New York who is desirous of being authorized to S. 1505 158 A. 2005 render podiatry care under this section and/or to conduct independent medical examinations in accordance with paragraph (b) of subdivision three of this section shall file an application for authorization under this section with the podiatry practice committee. In such application he or she shall agree to refrain from subsequently treating for remuner- ation, as a private patient, any person seeking podiatry treatment, or submitting to an independent medical examination, in connection with, or as a result of, any injury compensable under this chapter, if he or she has been removed from the list of podiatrists authorized to render podiatry care or to conduct independent medical examinations under this chapter, or if the person seeking such treatment has been transferred from his or her care in accordance with the provisions of this section. This agreement shall run to the benefit of the injured person so treated or examined, and shall be available to him or her as a defense in any action by such podiatrist for payment for treatment rendered by a podia- trist after he or she has been removed from the list of podiatrists authorized to render podiatry care or to conduct independent medical examinations under this section, or after the injured person was trans- ferred from his or her care in accordance with the provisions of this section. The podiatry practice committee if it deems such licensed podiatrist duly qualified shall recommend to the chair that such podia- trist be authorized to render podiatry care and/or to conduct independ- ent medical examinations under this section. Such recommendation shall be advisory to the chair only and shall not be binding or conclusive upon him or her.] The chair shall prepare and establish a schedule for the state, or schedules limited to defined localities, of charges and fees for [podiatry] PODIATRIC MEDICAL treatment and care, to be deter- mined in accordance with and to be subject to change pursuant to rules promulgated by the chair. Before preparing such schedule for the state or schedules for limited localities the chair shall request the [podia- try] PODIATRIC MEDICINE practice committee to submit to him or her a report on the amount of remuneration deemed by such committee to be fair and adequate for the types of [podiatry] PODIATRIC MEDICAL care to be rendered under this chapter, but consideration shall be given to the view of other interested parties. The amounts payable by the employer for such treatment and services shall be the fees and charges estab- lished by such schedule. (b) Upon receipt of the notice provided for by paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the employer, the carrier and the claimant each shall be entitled to have the claimant examined by a qualified podiatrist author- ized by the chair in accordance with [subdivision two of this] section THIRTEEN-B and section one hundred thirty-seven of this chapter, at a medical facility convenient to the claimant and in the presence of the claimant's podiatrist, and refusal by the claimant to submit to such independent medical examination at such time or times as may reasonably be necessary in the opinion of the board shall bar the claimant from recovering compensation for any period during which he or she has refused to submit to such examination. § 5. Subdivisions 1 and 2 and paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of section 13-l of the workers' compensation law, subdivision 1 as added by chapter 940 of the laws of 1973 and subdivision 2 and paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 473 of the laws of 2000, are amended to read as follows: 1.

If the injury or condition is one which is outside the limits prescribed by the education law for chiropractic care and treatment, the said chiropractor must so advise the said injured employee and instruct him or her to consult a physician of said employee's choice for appropriate care and treatment. Such physician shall thenceforth have supervision of the treatment of said condition including the future treatment to be administered to the patient by the chiropractor. [A chiropractor licensed and registered to practice chiropractic in the state of New York, who is desirous of being authorized to render chiropractic care under this section and/or to conduct independent medical examinations in accordance with paragraph (b) of subdivision three of this section shall file an application for authorization under this section with the chiropractic practice commit- tee.

The applicant shall agree to refrain from subsequently treating for remuneration, as a private patient, any person seeking psychological treatment, or submit- ting to an independent medical examination, in connection with, or as a result of, any injury compensable under this chapter, if he or she has been removed from the list of psychologists authorized to render psycho- logical care under this chapter. This agreement shall run to the benefit of the injured person so treated, and shall be available as a defense in any action by such psychologist for payment for treatment rendered by such psychologist after being removed from the list of psychologists authorized to render psychological care or to conduct independent medical examinations under this section. The psychology practice commit- tee if it deems such licensed psychologist duly qualified shall recom- mend to the chair that such person be authorized to render psychological care and/or to conduct independent medical examinations under this section.

Section 54-b of the workers' compensation law, as amended by chapter 6 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows: § 54-b. Enforcement on failure to pay award or judgment.

If the payment in default be an installment, the board may declare the entire award due and judgment may be entered in accordance with the provisions of this section. Such judgment shall be entered in the same manner, have the same effect and be subject to the same proceedings as though rendered in a suit duly heard and determined by the supreme court, except that no appeal may be taken therefrom. The court shall vacate or modify such judgment to conform to any later award or decision of the board upon presentation of a certified copy of such award or decision. The award may be so compromised by the board as in the discretion of the board may best serve the interest of the persons entitled to receive the compen- sation or benefits. Where an award has been made against a carrier or self-insured employer in accordance with the provisions of subdivision S. 1505 162 A. 2005 nine of section fifteen, or of section twenty-five-a of this chapter, such an award may be similarly compromised by the board, upon notice to a representative of the fund to which the award is payable, but if there be no representative of any such fund, notice shall be given to such representative as may be designated by the chair of the board; and notwithstanding any other provision of law, such compromise shall be effective without the necessity of any approval by the state comp- troller.

A notary public who is a resident of the state and who moves out of the state but still maintains a place of business or an office in New York state does not vacate his or her office as a notary public. A notary public who is a nonresident and who ceases to have an office or place of business in this state, vacates his or her office as a notary public. A notary public who is a resident of New York state and moves out of the state and who does not retain an office or place of business in this state shall vacate his or her office as a notary public.

Before issuing to any appli- cant a commission as notary public, unless he or she be an attorney and counsellor at law duly admitted to practice in this state or a court clerk of the unified court system who has been appointed to such posi- tion after taking a civil service promotional examination in the court clerk series of titles, the secretary of state shall satisfy himself or herself that the applicant is of good moral character, has the equiv- alent of a common school education and is familiar with the duties and responsibilities of a notary public; provided, however, that where a notary public applies, before the expiration of his or her term, for reappointment with the county clerk or where a person whose term as notary public shall have expired applies within six months thereafter for reappointment as a notary public with the county clerk, such quali- fying requirements may be waived by the secretary of state, and further, where an application for reappointment is filed with the county clerk after the expiration of the aforementioned renewal period by a person who failed or was unable to re-apply by reason of his or her induction or enlistment in the armed forces of the United States, such qualifying requirements may also be waived by the secretary of state, provided such application for reappointment is made within a period of one year after the military discharge of the applicant under conditions other than dishonorable. In any case, the appointment or reappointment of any applicant is in the discretion of the secretary of state. The secretary of state may suspend or remove from office, for misconduct, any notary S. 1505 172 A. 2005 public appointed by him or her but no such removal shall be made unless the person who is sought to be removed shall have been served with a copy of the charges against him or her and have an opportunity of being heard. No person shall be appointed as a notary public under this arti- cle who has been convicted, in this state or any other state or territo- ry, of a [felony or any of the following offenses, to wit: (a) Illegally using, carrying or possessing a pistol or other danger- ous weapon; (b) making or possessing burglar's instruments; (c) buying or receiving or criminally possessing stolen property; (d) unlawful entry of a building; (e) aiding escape from prison; (f) unlawfully possessing or distributing habit forming narcotic drugs; (g) violating sections two hundred seventy, two hundred seventy-a, two hundred seven- ty-b, two hundred seventy-c, two hundred seventy-one, two hundred seven- ty-five, two hundred seventy-six, five hundred fifty, five hundred fifty-one, five hundred fifty-one-a and subdivisions six, ten or eleven of section seven hundred twenty-two of the former penal law as in force and effect immediately prior to September first, nineteen hundred sixty-seven, or violating sections 165.25, 165.30 or subdivision one of section 240.30 of the penal law, or violating sections four hundred seventy-eight, four hundred seventy-nine, four hundred eighty, four hundred eighty-one, four hundred eighty-four, four hundred eighty-nine and four hundred ninety-one of the judiciary law; or (h) vagrancy or prostitution, and who has not subsequent to such conviction received an executive pardon therefor or a certificate of relief from disabilities or a certificate of good conduct pursuant to article twenty-three of the correction law to remove the disability under this section because of such conviction] CRIME, UNLESS THE SECRETARY MAKES A FINDING IN CONFORM- ANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THOSE CONTAINED IN ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE-A OF THE CORRECTION LAW, THAT SUCH CONVICTIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A BAR TO EMPLOYMENT. § 2.

This act shall take effect immediately. SUBPART J Section 1. Legislative findings. This Subpart will remove an overbroad mandatory suspension of drivers' licenses for six months for people convicted of state and federal drug crimes, that is unnecessary to protect the safety of New York roads, as the vehicle and traffic law has other provisions to suspend licenses when drug use has impaired safe driving. The mandatory suspension, and the fees associated with lifting it, interferes with the ability of people convicted of drug crimes to work, attend treatment and otherwise live productive lives, all of which are necessary for their rehabilitation. At any given time, about 8,000 New Yorkers have their licenses suspended because of non-driving related drug convictions. This mandatory suspension was instituted in response to federal law requiring states to either suspend the licenses of people convicted of drug offenses, or pass a resolution expressing opposition to the bill, or lose eight percent of federal highway funding. Concur- rent with this bill, Resolution ___ is being presented to the legisla- ture for their action; the Resolution contains the required statement of opposition to mandatory suspension of driver's licenses for people convicted of drug crimes in order for New York's federal funding for highways to be maintained. By passing the Resolution and removing the mandatory suspension, New York will join 40 other states who have taken this action. § 2. Subparagraphs (v), (vi) and (vii) of paragraph b of subdivision 2 of section 510 of the vehicle and traffic law are REPEALED. § 3. This act shall take effect immediately. SUBPART K Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that law enforcement booking information and photographs, otherwise known as "mugshots," are published on the internet and other public platforms with impunity. An individual's mugshot is displayed publicly even if the arrest does not lead to a conviction, or the conviction is later expunged, sealed, or pardoned. This practice presents an unacceptable invasion of the individual's personal privacy. While there is a well-es- tablished Constitutional right for the press and the public to publish S. 1505 177 A. 2005 government records which are in the public domain or that have been lawfully accessed, arrest and booking information have not been found by courts to have the same public right of access as criminal court proceedings or court filings. Therefore, each state can set access to this information through its Freedom of Information laws. The federal government has already limited access to booking photographs through privacy formulations in its Freedom of Information Act, and the legisla- ture hereby declares that New York will follow the same principle to protect its residents from this unwarranted invasion of personal priva- cy, absent a specific law enforcement purpose, such as disclosure of a photograph to alert victims or witnesses to come forward to aid in a criminal investigation. § 2. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 89 of the public offi- cers law, as amended by section 11 of part U of chapter 61 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows: (b) An unwarranted invasion of personal privacy includes, but shall not be limited to: i. disclosure of employment, medical or credit histories or personal references of applicants for employment; ii. disclosure of items involving the medical or personal records of a client or patient in a medical facility; iii. sale or release of lists of names and addresses if such lists would be used for solicitation or fund-raising purposes; iv. disclosure of information of a personal nature when disclosure would result in economic or personal hardship to the subject party and such information is not relevant to the work of the agency requesting or maintaining it; v. disclosure of information of a personal nature reported in confi- dence to an agency and not relevant to the ordinary work of such agency; vi. information of a personal nature contained in a workers' compen- sation record, except as provided by section one hundred ten-a of the workers' compensation law; [or] vii. disclosure of electronic contact information, such as an e-mail address or a social network username, that has been collected from a taxpayer under section one hundred four of the real property tax law; OR VIII. DISCLOSURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT BOOKING INFORMATION ABOUT AN INDI- VIDUAL, INCLUDING BOOKING PHOTOGRAPHS, UNLESS PUBLIC RELEASE OF SUCH INFORMATION WILL SERVE A SPECIFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE AND DISCLOSURE IS NOT PRECLUDED BY ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS. § 3. This act shall take effect immediately. SUBPART L Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 845-c to read as follows: § 845-C.

WHEN, PURSUANT TO STATUTE OR THE REGULATIONS OF THE DIVISION, THE DIVISION CONDUCTS A SEARCH OF ITS CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS AND RETURNS A REPORT THEREON, ALL REFERENCES TO UNDISPOSED CASES CONTAINED IN SUCH CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD SHALL BE EXCLUDED FROM SUCH REPORT. 2.

Subdivision 2 of section 212 of the judiciary law is amended by adding a new paragraph (x) to read as follows: (X) TAKE SUCH ACTIONS AND ADOPT SUCH MEASURES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT NO WRITTEN OR ELECTRONIC REPORT OF A CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD SEARCH CONDUCTED BY THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION, OTHER THAN A SEARCH CONDUCTED SOLELY FOR THE INTERNAL RECORDKEEPING OR CASE MANAGE- MENT PURPOSES OF THE JUDICIARY OR FOR A BONA FIDE RESEARCH PURPOSE, CONTAINS INFORMATION RELATING TO AN UNDISPOSED CASE. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, "UNDISPOSED CASE" SHALL MEAN A CRIMINAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR AN ARREST INCIDENT, APPEARING IN THE CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS OF THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION FOR WHICH NO CONVICTION, IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE, ORDER OF REMOVAL OR OTHER FINAL DISPOSITION, OTHER THAN THE ISSUANCE OF AN APPARENTLY UNEXECUTED WARRANT, HAS BEEN RECORDED AND WITH RESPECT TO WHICH NO ENTRY HAS BEEN MADE IN SUCH RECORDS FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST FIVE YEARS PRECEDING THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH REPORT.

Prior to such effective date, the division of criminal justice services, in consultation with the state administrator of the unified court system as well as any other public or private agency, shall undertake such measures as may be neces- sary and appropriate to update its criminal history records with respect to criminal cases and arrest incidents for which no final disposition has been reported. SUBPART M Section 1. The commissioner of the division of criminal justice services is authorized to direct that records of any action or proceed- ing terminated in favor of the accused, as defined by section 160.50 of the criminal procedure law, on or after September 1, 1976 and before November 1, 1991 maintained by the division of criminal justice services be sealed in the manner provided for by section 160.50 of the criminal procedure law.

A civil action may be commenced against a non-criminal defendant to recover the property which constitutes the proceeds of a crime, the substituted proceeds of a crime, an instrumen- tality of a crime, or the real property instrumentality of a crime provided, however, that a judgment of forfeiture predicated upon clause (A) of subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (b) of subdivision three [hereof] OF THIS SECTION shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds of the crime. Any action under this article must be commenced within five years of the commission of the crime and shall be civil, remedial, and in personam in nature and shall not be deemed to be a penalty or criminal forfeiture for any purpose. Except as otherwise specially provided by statute, the proceedings under this article shall be governed by this chapter. An action under this article is not a criminal proceeding and may not be deemed to be a previous prosecution under article forty of the criminal procedure law. (a) Actions relating to post-conviction forfeiture crimes. An action relating to a post-conviction forfeiture crime must be grounded upon a conviction of a felony defined in subdivision five of section one thou- sand three hundred ten of this article[, or upon criminal activity aris- ing from a common scheme or plan of which such a conviction is a part,] or upon a count of an indictment or information alleging a felony which was dismissed at the time of a plea of guilty to a felony in satisfac- S. 1505 191 A. 2005 tion of such count. A court may not grant forfeiture until such conviction has occurred. However, an action may be commenced, and a court may grant a provisional remedy provided under this article, prior to such conviction having occurred. An action under this paragraph must be dismissed at any time after sixty days of the commencement of the action unless the conviction upon which the action is grounded has occurred, or an indictment or information upon which the asserted conviction is to be based is pending in a superior court. An action under this paragraph shall be stayed during the pendency of a criminal action which is related to it; provided, however, that such stay shall not prevent the granting or continuance of any provisional remedy provided under this article or any other provisions of law. § 2. The civil practice law and rules is amended by adding a new section 1311-b to read as follows: § 1311-B. MONEY JUDGMENT. IF A CLAIMING AUTHORITY OBTAINS A FORFEITURE JUDGMENT AGAINST A DEFENDANT FOR THE PROCEEDS, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS, INSTRUMENTALITY OF A CRIME OR REAL PROPERTY INSTRUMENTALITY OF A CRIME, BUT IS UNABLE TO LOCATE ALL OR PART OF ANY SUCH PROPERTY, THE CLAIMING AUTHORITY MAY APPLY TO THE COURT FOR A MONEY JUDGMENT AGAINST THE DEFENDANT IN THE AMOUNT OF THE VALUE OF THE FORFEITED PROPERTY THAT CANNOT BE LOCATED. THE DEFENDANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE VALUATION OF ANY PROPERTY THAT IS THE BASIS FOR SUCH AN APPLICATION. THE CLAIMING AUTHORITY SHALL HAVE THE BURDEN OF ESTABLISHING THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY UNDER THIS SECTION BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE. § 3. Subdivisions 1, 3 and 4 of section 1312 of the civil practice law and rules, subdivision 1 as added by chapter 669 of the laws of 1984, subdivision 3 as amended and subdivision 4 as added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, are amended to read as follows: 1. The provisional remedies of attachment, injunction, receivership and notice of pendency provided for herein, shall be available in all actions to recover property [or for a money judgment] under this arti- cle. 3. A court may grant an application for a provisional remedy when it determines that: (a) there is a substantial probability that the claim- ing authority will BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE AT TRIAL THAT THE PROPERTY IS THE PROCEEDS, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS, INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CRIME OR REAL PROPERTY INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CRIME, THAT THE CLAIMING AUTHORITY WILL prevail on the issue of forfeiture, and that failure to enter the order may result in the property being destroyed, removed from the jurisdic- tion of the court, or otherwise be unavailable for forfeiture; (b) the need to preserve the availability of the property through the entry of the requested order outweighs the hardship on any party against whom the order may operate; and (c) in an action relating to real property, that entry of the requested order will not substantially diminish, impair, or terminate the lawful property interest in such real property of any person or persons other than the defendant or defendants. 4. Upon motion of any party against whom a provisional remedy granted pursuant to this article is in effect, the court may issue an order modifying or vacating such provisional remedy if necessary to permit the moving party to obtain funds for the payment of reasonable living expenses, other costs or expenses related to the maintenance, operation, or preservation of property which is the subject of any such provisional remedy or reasonable and bona fide attorneys' fees and expenses for the representation of the defendant in the forfeiture proceeding or in a related criminal matter relating thereto, payment for which is not otherwise available from assets of the defendant which are not subject S. 1505 192 A. 2005 to such provisional remedy. Any such motion shall be supported by an affidavit establishing the unavailability of other assets of the moving party which are not the subject of such provisional remedy for payment of such expenses or fees. THAT FUNDS SOUGHT TO BE RELEASED UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION ARE ALLEGED TO BE THE PROCEEDS, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS, INSTRUMENTALITY OF A CRIME OR REAL PROPERTY INSTRUMENTALITY OF A CRIME SHALL NOT BE A FACTOR FOR THE COURT IN CONSIDERING AND DETERMINING A MOTION MADE PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDIVISION. § 4. The opening paragraph of subdivision 2 of section 1349 of the civil practice law and rules, as added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows: If any other provision of law expressly governs the manner of disposi- tion of property subject to the judgment or order of forfeiture, that provision of law shall be controlling, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT, NOTWITH- STANDING THE PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHER LAW, ALL FORFEITED MONIES AND PROCEEDS FROM FORFEITED PROPERTY SHALL BE DEPOSITED INTO AND DISBURSED FROM AN ASSET FORFEITURE ESCROW FUND ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION SIX-V OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW, WHICH SHALL GOVERN THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH MONIES AND PROCEEDS FROM FORFEITED PROPERTY. Upon application by a claiming agent for reimbursement of moneys directly expended by a claiming agent in the underlying criminal investigation for the purchase of contraband which were converted into a non-monetary form or which have not been otherwise recovered, the court shall direct such reimbursement from money forfeited pursuant to this article. Upon appli- cation of the claiming agent, the court may direct that any vehicles, vessels or aircraft forfeited pursuant to this article be retained by the claiming agent for law enforcement purposes, unless the court deter- mines that such property is subject to a perfected lien, in which case the court may not direct that the property be retained unless all such liens on the property to be retained have been satisfied or pursuant to the court's order will be satisfied. In the absence of an application by the claiming agent, the claiming authority may apply to the court to retain such property for law enforcement purposes. Upon such applica- tion, the court may direct that such property be retained by the claim- ing authority for law enforcement purposes, unless the court determines that such property is subject to a perfected lien. If not so retained, the judgment or order shall direct the claiming authority to sell the property in accordance with article fifty-one of this chapter, and that the proceeds of such sale and any other moneys realized as a consequence of any forfeiture pursuant to this article SHALL BE DEPOSITED TO AN ASSET FORFEITURE ESCROW FUND ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION SIX-V OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW AND shall be apportioned and paid in the following descending order of priority: § 5.
