NY GOP House bill would bypass states with liberal policies to give funds directly to cops, local governments

The GOP delegation in New York has put forth a new bill that aims to redirect federal law enforcement funding away from states with lenient crime policies, such as New York, and directly to localities. Sponsored by Rep. Marc Molinaro, the bill would distribute funding to local law enforcement agencies if states have laws like New York’s Clean Slate Act and loose bail policies.

Molinaro stated that taxpayers should not have to support policies in Albany that make communities less safe. The proposed bill would shift funds from the state government to local police, courts, and governments that are actively working to restore public safety.

The legislation, co-sponsored by most of New York’s Republican members of Congress, would require the Department of Justice to withhold funding from states that do not allow judges to consider dangerousness when determining bail eligibility or have policies that seal the criminal records of felons.

New York is the only state without a dangerousness standard, which was eliminated in the 1970s. Last year, the state passed the Clean Slate Act, which seals criminal histories for non-law enforcement purposes and certain background checks.

Crime and public safety are top concerns for voters, with a recent Siena College poll showing that 54% of likely New York voters believe crime has worsened in the past year.

Some Republicans are using the issue of crime as a focal point in their campaigns. Rep. Brandon Williams criticized his Democratic challenger, state Sen. John Mannion, for supporting policies like cashless bail that he believes jeopardize public safety.

Josh Riley, the Democratic candidate running against Molinaro, has expressed support for the Clean Slate Act and believes in addressing inequalities within the criminal justice system while ensuring community safety.

While the Republicans’ bill may face challenges in the Democratic-controlled Senate, it underscores the ongoing debate around crime policies and public safety in New York and across the country.
