Summary of New York Assembly Bill A 2723

Bill at a Glance

  • Bill Number: A 2723
  • Title: Repeals the sunset on certain provisions related to arrests in situations involving certain family offenses
  • Status: Referred to Codes
  • Introduced: January 22, 2025
  • Sponsor (primary): Amy Paulin

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill seeks to remove a sunset provision that currently applies to certain arrest-related provisions in the realm of family offenses. In short, it would ensure that these arrest-related provisions do not expire on a set date and would remain in effect indefinitely (subject to future changes by law).

Key Provisions (as described)

  • Repeal of Sunset: The central change is a legislative repeal of the sunset on certain arrest-related provisions dealing with family offenses. No other substantive changes to the underlying arrest provisions are specified in the available information.
  • Impact on Existing Provisions: The underlying arrest-related provisions would continue to operate without the previously scheduled expiration, rather than expiring on a predetermined date.

Note: The exact text of the provisions affected by the sunset and any related transition details are not provided here. The summary focuses on the stated purpose to repeal the sunset.

Potential Impact and Who is Affected

  • Law Enforcement Agencies: Would continue to rely on the arrest provisions in family offense cases without the concern of a sunset expiration.
  • Prosecutors and Courts: Retain the ability to apply arrest provisions in domestic/family offense scenarios beyond any previously scheduled sunset.
  • Individuals Involved in Family Offenses: Victims, defendants, and their families could experience more consistent enforcement and protection if the arrest provisions are preserved permanently.
  • Administrative/Operational Implications: Eliminating sunset could simplify long-term planning for enforcement and prosecution in family offense matters, but it may also reduce flexibility to revisit or revise these provisions in response to evolving policy needs.

Procedural and Timing Aspects

  • Current Status: Referred to Codes (as of the information provided).
  • Legislative Actions to Date: On January 22, 2025, the bill was referred to the Codes committee; the same action is listed twice in the provided record.
  • Effective Date: Not specified in the available information. Typically, an act would become effective on the date specified in the enacted bill or upon signature/adoption, but the exact timing for A 2723 is not provided here.
  • Next Steps to Watch: If advanced, the bill would move through the Codes committee and potentially to floor votes in the Assembly and Senate, with opportunities for amendments.

Bottom Line

A 2723 aims to preserve, indefinitely, certain arrest-related provisions that currently have a sunset, by repealing that sunset. The change would affect how arrests in family offense situations are governed going forward, with broad implications for law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, and those involved in family offenses.
