S6066 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S6066

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring the inclu-
sion of information regarding the race, ethnicity, age, sex, and, where
known, the sexual orientation and gender identity of persons arrested
for, pleading guilty to or convicted of offenses in the information the
division of criminal justice services collects and analyzes regarding
hate crimes

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 4-c of section 837 of the Exec-
utive Law to require the Division of Criminal Justice Services to
include demographic information about people who are arrested for, plead
guilty to, and are convicted of hate crimes in their statutorily-re-
quired annual reporting of hate crime data.

Section 2 of the bill is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York's Hate Crimes Law increases the penalties for certain specified
criminal offenses that are committed targeting .a victim because of a
perception or belief about their race, color, national origin, ancestry,
gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability, sexual orien-
tation, or gender identity or expression.

Under current law, the Division of Criminal Justice Services is required
to collect and analyze statistical and all other information and data
with respect to hate crimes reported by law enforcement, and the agency
produces an annual report which details hate crimes incidents that law
enforcement agencies have reported to DCJS, including data on the number
of incidents and type of bias reported.  While this information is
important for understanding the prevalence of hate crimes in New York
and the groups most frequently targeted by hate crimes, it's also impor-
tant for New Yorkers to understand how and against whom police enforce
the Hate Crimes Law, which this proposal helps accomplish by expanding
the data analysis and reporting required by DCJS to include demographic
information about the people arrested for, pleading guilty to, and being
convicted of hate crimes.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

BILL NUMBER: S6066A

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the executive law, in relation to
enacting the "hate crimes analysis and review act"

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To ensure that New York State collects and reports data on the sexual
orientation, gender identity and racial or ethnic identity of victims
and alleged perpetrators.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 establishes the title of this legislation

Section 2 amends subdivision 4-c of section 837 of the executive law,
which was previously amended by the hate crimes act of 2000. This estab-
lishes that it is the responsibility of the Chief Administrator of the
Courts and local law enforcement to maintain and publicly report data on
hate crimes in New York State. This legislation specifies that hate

crimes incidents that have been reported to all law enforcement entities
in our state should be included in all data reported by law enforcement
and peace officers throughout the state.  It provides for the collection
of demographic data of crime victims and those arrested for the commis-
sion of such a crime. Lastly, this section mandates that the report be
delivered to the NYS Attorney General and to committees in the Legisla-
ture, along with the other Legislative leaders and the Executive.

Section 3 is the date of enactment

 
JUSTIFICATION:

When hate crimes take place in New York, there's often insufficient
information collected regarding the identities of those involved to
adequately understand who the victims are and who is being accused of
the crime. It is consequently more difficult for the state to provide
adequate victim support services and additional programming to decrease
the likelihood of hate crimes occurring. This bill would require data
collection of the gender identity, gender expression, sexual orien-
tation, race, ethnicity, color, religion, ancestry, age, disability, and
national origin of both alleged perpetrators and victims of hate crimes
from the division of criminal justice services. By collecting this
information, New York State can better ensure that the state is protect-
ing residents hate crimes laws intend to protect, with the goal of ulti-
mately ensuring we hold criminal offenders accountable while simultane-
ously advocating for balanced, restorative justice practices.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This legislation goes into effect 90 days after enactment
