A 4500 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to creating a contraband and drug information hotline

This bill creates a statewide, toll-free hotline for reporting contraband and drugs in New York's state correctional facilities. It defines "contraband" to include weapons, dangerous instruments, and controlled substances (as specified in the Penal Law). The hotline will operate 24/7, accepting anonymous calls from anyone - including incarcerated people, visitors, or staff - reporting incidents involving contraband. The commissioner must establish rules to implement this system, directly affecting facility safety operations and reporting procedures.
