Establishes a temporary commission to study coercive abuse and its neurological effects, and recommend legal reforms.

The bill establishes an eight-member temporary state commission called the "coercive abuse and neurological harm study commission." The commission will review current scientific research on the neurological and psychological effects of prolonged emotional, psychological, and coercive abuse. It will examine existing New York state criminal, family, and civil statutes related to domestic violence and abuse. The commission will assess the feasibility of recognizing coercive psychological abuse resulting in neurological or physical harm as an aggravating factor in existing offenses.
