Summary: S 6593 – Requires reporting to the federal bureau of investigation's national use-of-force data collection program

Overview

S 6593 is a New York State bill introduced on March 18, 2025. It would require New York law enforcement agencies to report use-of-force incidents to the FBI’s National Use-of-Force Data Collection (NUDCF) program. The bill is currently REPORTED AND COMMITTED TO FINANCE, indicating it has progressed from a policy committee to the Finance committee for consideration of any fiscal impact. The primary sponsor is Robert Jackson, with several cosponsors.

Purpose and Intent

  • Align New York State reporting with federal data collection efforts to improve transparency and national comparability of police use-of-force data.
  • Provide a more comprehensive, standardized data set on use-of-force incidents across the state to inform policy, oversight, and public accountability.

Key Provisions (as implied by the bill’s title and status)

  • Mandate: Law enforcement agencies within New York State must report use-of-force incidents to the FBI’s National Use-of-Force Data Collection program.
  • Data submission: Agencies would supply incident details to the NUDCF in accordance with the FBI’s data collection requirements.
  • Compliance pathway: The bill would establish the process by which agencies submit data and adhere to federal reporting standards.
  • Oversight and administration: Likely includes state-level guidance or oversight to ensure timely and accurate submissions (exact mechanisms not detailed in the provided summary).

Who/What Would Be Affected

  • State and local law enforcement agencies operating within New York.
  • Potentially agency personnel responsible for data collection, record-keeping, and reporting to the FBI.
  • State government entities overseeing criminal justice data and transparency initiatives.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: March 18, 2025.
  • Legislation actions: Referred to Codes (2025-03-18) and later “REPORTED AND COMMITTED TO FINANCE” (2025-04-09), indicating advancement to the Finance Committee for fiscal review.
  • Related actions: The bill has prior-session related bills (S 7273, S 5448) and a companion in the Assembly (A 1811).

Related Legislation

  • Related Senate bills: S 7273 (prior-session), S 5448 (prior-session).
  • Companion Assembly bill: A 1811 (companion; listed twice, likely indicating parallel versions or reiteration across houses).

Potential Impacts

  • Data uniformity: Improved consistency of use-of-force data across jurisdictions within New York.
  • Policy and oversight: Enhanced ability for legislators, oversight bodies, and the public to analyze trends and inform reforms.
  • Fiscal considerations: The Finance committee referral suggests potential costs for agencies to adapt reporting processes, data systems, or staffing to comply with federal reporting timelines and formats.

Notes

  • The provided materials do not include the bill’s exact data elements, penalties for noncompliance, or detailed implementation timelines. The fiscal note (if any) would be addressed by the Finance Committee during review.
