Following an afternoon of closed-door meetings, Adams said that while he's seeking changes to 'criminal justice reforms' in the budget, it's up to Albany lawmakers to determine if the rollbacks to bail reform the governor is seeking should be enacted.
reforms” in the state budget for this fiscal year — due April 1, it’s up to Albany lawmakers to determine if the rollbacks to bail reform Governor Kathy Hochul is seeking should be enacted.” which requires judges to use the least restrictive methods for getting defendants to show up to court, in order to clear up what she’s characterized as confusion among judges about which crimes are bail eligible.
“I’ve said this over and over again, and I’m going to continue to say it, criminal justice reform is not just bail. Everyone likes that bumper sticker of bail,” Adams told reporters in the state Capitol Monday afternoon. Both state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie have shown little appetite to make further changes to the bail laws, which were reformed in 2019 to eliminate cash bail for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies. Neither of the legislative leaders included Hochul’s proposed rollback, or any further changes to the pretrial detention laws, in their own budget plans.
