S70 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S70

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 of the bill is the title clause.

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 of the bill is the effective date.

 
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.
