The push comes in the wake of Hochul’s relatively narrow victory in last November’s election, in which her Republican opponent, Lee Zeldin, made the issue of crime and public safety the central tenet of his campaign.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.When New York Gov. Kathy Hochul unveils her budget proposal Wednesday, she’s expected to include a plan to make major changes to the state’s cash bail laws for the third time since lawmakers overhauled them in 2019.
“All I'm trying to do right now is remedy that inconsistency that exists in law,” Hochul told reporters in Albany last week. “And by focusing on the serious offenses, I believe that we should be able to garner the support.” In New York, people of color are disproportionately affected by the judicial system. In 2020, people of color represented 33% of the adult population in the state, but 66% of felony arrests and prison sentences, according to state data.
They also allowed judges to set bail in circumstances where someone is charged with a felony while on probation, or in certain cases where someone is charged with a crime causing harm to a person or property while awaiting trial on a similar charge. “Of course, we also must understand that changing our bail law will not automatically bring down crime,” Hochul’s office wrote in a policy book that accompanied her State of the State address. “What it will do is make it crystal clear that judges do, in fact, have the discretion necessary to protect the safety of New Yorkers.”
