Mayer that requires judges to file extreme risk protection orders into a statewide computerized registry, ensuring the orders are accessible to all police departments across the state. The bill passed on a 45-13 vote, with 13 Republicans voting in opposition. Sen. Mayer explained that the measure will provide additional safety and security for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by guaranteeing their red flag orders are uniformly filed and accessible regardless of where they or the respondent are located in New York.

The legislation takes effect 120 days after becoming law.
