S8763
An act to amend the Criminal Procedure Law — 2026-01-21 · Calendar #62
The New York State Senate passed S8763, sponsored by Sen. Brouk, which amends the Criminal Procedure Law to expand victim notification processes, on a vote of 56-0. The bill broadens how crime victims are informed of proceedings by authorizing notification through additional methods including email. Sen. Murray, voting in favor, praised the measure as beneficial to victims but suggested the legislation could be strengthened by requiring confirmation that victims actually received notifications sent through the new channels. The bill takes effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the Laws of 2025.
