A 10394 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to enacting the "criminal court opinion transparency act"

This bill, titled the Criminal Court Opinion Transparency Act, requires New York courts to collect and publish detailed statistics about criminal cases online. The law mandates the release of data regarding defendants' age, gender, and racial background, along with information about the judges, legal issues, and outcomes for each case. It also establishes a system to automatically send written court opinions in a digital format to a state reporter for public access and analysis. Additionally, the bill ensures that costs for implementing these data collection and reporting systems are covered by the state rather than local municipalities.
