The sponsor's argument

Why Julia Salazar says this is needed

In April 2021, a woman was awarded a $750,000 settlement in court after her wrists and ankles were shackled while she was in active labor and under New York Police Department custody. The woman was arrested on a misdemeanor charge at 40 weeks and two days pregnant and remained shack- led when she began laboring shortly thereafter. In 2009, the New York State Legislature passed a law that prohibited the shackling of pregnant people during labor, delivery, and recovery. However, a major loophole still exists that allows for the shackling of pregnant people when an officer, in consultation with the chief medical officer, believes restraints are necessary to prevent injury to herself or correction staff. This language is dangerously broad and has allowed for pregnant people to be shackled for any movement or action, even innocuous ones, that an officer deems "threatening." In addition, people continue to be shackled when they are in police custody, but not formal- ly incarcerated. As recognized by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association, no pregnant person should be shackled during labor, delivery or recovery, and this legislation will close this loophole.

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.
