Summary

This bill allows the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board to access sealed records and certain confidential records as part of its oversight functions. The Civilian Complaint Review Board investigates complaints of misconduct against New York City Police Department officers. Sealed records are documents that are normally restricted from public access due to privacy, confidentiality, or other legal protections. By granting the CCRB access to these sealed and confidential records, the bill enables more comprehensive investigations into police misconduct allegations. Specific details about which types of records the CCRB may access and the procedures for accessing them are not included in the available summary.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
