What it does

This bill would require the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to review and revise its enforcement criteria for certain low-level, non-violent offenses. NYPD would be required to issue guidance to officers recommending that they use criminal enforcement for these offenses unless certain criteria are met to use civil enforcement.
