BILL NUMBER:S2956A
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prohibiting quotas for a ticket, summons or arrest authorized by any general, special or local law
Purpose
Expands the quota penalty provisions to include a ticket, summons or arrest.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends section 215-a of the Labor Law, to expand the current ban on ticket quotas to include a ban on arrest or summons quotas.
Existing law
Section 215-a of the Labor Law currently prohibits discrimination against employees for failure to meet ticket and summons quotas.
Justification
Tickets, summons and arrests should be utilized by the police officer when he or she feels that the circumstances are appropriate, rather than in order to satisfy arbitrary quota requirements. To establish a quota for an officer to meet a certain number of summonses or arrests is a disservice to his or her trained and professional judgment, and unfair to those who receive such citations.
