NYC Council to Approve Controversial Reforms: NYPD, DOC, and Solitary Confinement in Focus
TL;DR
The New York City Council is expected to pass several last-minute bills, including a ban on solitary confinement in NYC jails and a controversial bill requiring police officers to file reports on low-level stops. These bills have faced opposition from Mayor Eric Adams, but there is enough support in the council to override any potential veto. Other bills include barring landlords from running criminal background checks on prospective tenants and closing loopholes in the reporting of settlements over alleged police conduct. The council is also considering legislation on NYPD donations, data sharing, severe weather protocols, and mental health support.
