S 9722 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Provides that any electronically or electromagnetically transmitted facsimile of a governor's warrant shall be treated as an original document

This bill updates the Criminal Procedure Law to ensure that electronically or electromagnetically transmitted copies of a governor's arrest warrant are legally considered original documents. The change directly affects law enforcement officers and other individuals tasked with executing these warrants by removing the requirement for a physical, paper copy. By amending Section 570.18, the legislation allows digital versions of the warrant to be used immediately without needing to print a hard copy, streamlining the arrest process. The act takes effect immediately upon passage, applying the new standard to all future warrant transmissions.
