Expands the investigative powers of the Civilian Complaint Review Board to include complaints alleging bias-based profiling.

New York Assembly Bill A05617 amends the New York City Charter to expand the investigative scope of the Civilian Complaint Review Board to include complaints alleging bias-based profiling. The Board is empowered to investigate, hear, make findings, and recommend actions on complaints from the public or those initiated by the board against members of the police department. The bill defines "bias-based profiling" as relying on actual or perceived characteristics such as race, national origin, and gender, rather than behavior or other relevant information. The act takes effect immediately.
