What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Establishing a program to provide up to ten hours of post-trial psychological counseling, at no cost, to jurors who serve in cases involving graphic, gruesome, or highly emotional evidence or testimony.
