New York S02266 mandates annual reports on legal settlement payments related to law enforcement activity.

New York S02266 requires the state comptroller to publish an annual report detailing payments made for legal settlements related to law enforcement activity. The report must include monetary amounts, plaintiffs, named parties, and details of allegations or misconduct. Plaintiffs can opt for a pseudonym, but defendants must be named. Failure to report results in loss of state funding and accreditation, which are restored upon compliance. The bill also tasks the Division of Criminal Justice Services with ensuring compliance and identifying non-compliant law enforcement departments.
