The sponsor's argument
Why Robert Jackson says this is needed
In 2019, New York enacted a law that allowed staff of members of the Legislature to accompany them into State correctional facilities. Senators and Assembly Members are very often accompanied by their staff during the course of their duties. Unfortunately, the 2019 law excluded local correctional facilities and, consequently, local officials have denied accompanying staff of State elected officials from visiting such facilities. This bill closes that glaring loophole. This bill also authorizes elected members of the local legislative body and their accompanying staff to visit local correctional facilities.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
