SENATOR GIANARIS:Please recognize Senator Chan for an introduction.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Chan for an introduction.
SENATOR CHAN:Thank you, Mr. President.
So today I want to welcome once again to Albany two very special people who laid down a sacrifice extremely overwhelming. It's Mrs. Xiu Yan Li -- and I'm sorry you have to be sitting behind me over there -- and Mr. Wei Tang Liu.
They are the parents of Detective Wenjian Liu, who, along with his partner, Detective Rafael Ramos, was assassinated in their patrol car in New York City, in Brooklyn, 11 years ago.
And I was still a police officer at the time. I was the second in command of the South Brooklyn Crime Scene Unit. And no need to say that at that time I mobilized all of my cops and detectives to the scene of that shooting, and I myself went to the house of the Lius, because it was fairly close to where my office was.
And subsequently, over the next decade or so, we became family. And I remember for years after that, every time they saw me, they broke down in tears.
And I'm very happy to see that the cops today in the neighborhood, they know that when it snows, go shovel the snow in their driveway, go take care of them, check in on them, knock on the door. That's because they're part of our family.
And I'm very, very happy to welcome them once again to Albany. And I want you to know that you are always welcome in Albany.
And I ask my colleagues to extend their warmest welcome to the Lius.
Now in Chinese. (Repeating introduction in Chinese.)
And thank you very much, everyone.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Thank you, Senator Chan.
To our guests, I welcome you on behalf of the Senate. We extend to you all of the privileges and courtesies of this house.
Please rise and be recognized.
(Standing ovation.)

ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:The Secretary will ring the bell.
The Secretary will read.
THE SECRETARY:Calendar Number 44, Assembly Bill 9516, by Assemblymember Dilan, an act to amend the Correction Law.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Murray, why do you rise?
SENATOR MURRAY:Thank you, Mr. President.
Would the sponsor yield for a question, please?
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Will the sponsor yield?
SENATOR SALAZAR:Yes.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:The sponsor yields.
SENATOR MURRAY:Thank you.
Through you, Mr. President. So in the bill -- and I'm going to read -- forgive me here, but I'm going to read my notes here. It says that at least one member -- we're increasing the members of the board from three to five.
It says at least one member must be a former inmate in a New York correctional facility, and one member must have one or more of the following qualifications: Licensed healthcare professional authorized to practice in New York; licensed attorney authorized to practice in New York with a background in criminal indigent defense or prisoners' rights litigation or experience as a legal policy professional who has professional experience related to the rights of inmates.
So my question is, is there any requirement that one of these members have any experience with victims and victims' rights?
SENATOR SALAZAR:Through you, Mr. President. Actually -- so I do want to just remind all of us the purpose of the State Commission of Correction is to provide oversight of correctional facilities.
Frankly, to be honest, apart from people who, you know, happen to also be victims of crime themselves if they are incarcerated or if they work in a correctional facility, the work of the SCOC does not really focus on crime victims. And so I do just want to make that clear.
There is nothing in the legislation that suggests that any of the appointees to the SCOC, full-time or part-time commissioners, would not be eligible to serve on SCOC if they had experience working with crime victims. It's just not explicitly stated as a requirement.
SENATOR MURRAY:Thank you, Mr. President. On the bill.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Murray on the bill.
SENATOR MURRAY:And thank you, Senator Salazar.
The interesting part is everything -- while it might not directly work with victims, everything in the criminal justice system applies to crime victims.
Understand that these -- the victims are the people that did nothing wrong. The criminals are the ones that chose to break the law and create a crime victim.
There's a headline today in one of the papers: "Brooklyn judge cuts sex abuser's original 103-year sentence to 18 as victim voices outrage and fear."
The message New York sends over and over again to crime victims is "You don't matter."
We're demanding that on this board you have people that have a background in defending criminals, a background in criminals' rights, in making sure that they're comfortable and everything is fine for the criminals.
And I beg to differ when you say that this doesn't apply to crime victims, because everything that happens in the criminal justice system in one way or another affects the crime victims.
See, our thought process is exactly what the sponsor just said. It's dismissing the criminal. This headline doesn't directly; it's about the criminal himself and his sentence. But what message did it send to the crime victims?
And I would argue it sends the exactly same message this bill sends, and that is "you don't matter." And that's a real shame.
For that reason I'll be voting no.
Thank you, Mr. President.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Thank you, Senator Murray.
Are there any other Senators wishing to be heard?
Seeing and hearing none, debate is now closed. The Secretary will ring the bell.
Senator Gianaris.
SENATOR GIANARIS:Mr. President, we've agreed to restore this bill to the noncontroversial calendar.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:The bill will be returned to the noncontroversial calendar.
Read the last section.
THE SECRETARY:Section 4. This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the Laws of 2025.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Call the roll.
(The Secretary called the roll.)
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Rivera to explain his vote.
SENATOR RIVERA:Thank you, Mr. President.
I want to thank Senator Salazar for bringing this bill up.
And I just -- one thing as I proudly vote in the affirmative on this legislation, just one thing that I want some of my colleagues to consider is that there seems -- sometimes the narrative that folks might speak about on this floor, as elsewhere, it's as though people -- they just speak about people who have committed crimes who are paying their debt to society by being incarcerated as though they would never change. That they're going to be criminals forever, and speak of them as though they're just folks that should be thrown away.
And I think that that has to do with a mentality that is purely about punitive thinking. It is about just punishing, punishing, punishing.
And unfortunately, what that has led to is the reason why things like this are necessary, is because it is indeed, when you think about -- when we think about victims, and we do think about victims all the time, we do so in ways that are comprehensive, that have to do with how to fix the entire problem, not just identifying the person that made a mistake and then punish that person forever and ever and ever without being able to say that anything that they can do can change who we believe them to be.
And I think that that's a mentality that is not only old school, but old and unnecessary.
So I'm glad that we're moving forward and we can think about victims and how to make their lives better, and we can take people who have committed crimes and who have paid their debt to society, and say that they can come back into society and be productive members of it.
So I vote in the affirmative on this legislation.
Thank you, Mr. President.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Rivera to be recorded in the affirmative.
Senator Martins to explain his vote.
SENATOR MARTINS:Thank you, Mr. President.
I vote to -- well, I vote no. And certainly I can't support this. But I also wanted to explain why.
I believe, I believe everyone in this room believes in the power of rehabilitation. And we hope for the power of rehabilitation and the ability of people to do better and to grow and to come back as meaningful members of society.
But we also can't ignore reality. The recidivism rate in this state is extraordinarily high. The facts are specific. For anyone who wants to look at facts and not just paint with broad strokes, the recidivism rate is high.
And so when we vote on bills like this that are frankly counter to the facts as we see them, as much as we all hope for rehabilitation and we want to give every opportunity and every opportunity for that person who is incarcerated to be rehabilitated and come back as a member of society, I think it is -- I think it's unfair to come here and to tell people in this chamber that those who voted no for this bill somehow are doing it for ulterior motives.
I vote no, and I think that I urge all of my colleagues to vote no as well.
Thank you.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Martins to be recorded in the negative.
Senator Salazar to explain her vote.
SENATOR SALAZAR:Thank you, Mr. President.
I'll be -- I'll be brief. Clearly, I'm not feeling excellent right now. But I did want to just speak to the remark about the recidivism rate in our state, which I completely agree is unacceptably high.
We have an outrageously high recidivism rate in this country. We also have the highest incarceration rate in this country per capita in the world, actually, per capita, in the United States. Which is a shame.
It doesn't seem to be working, does not seem to be preventing people from returning to jail or prison. And I share my colleague's commitment in seeking to reduce the number of Americans and New Yorkers who find themselves in jail or prison in the first place, and certainly repeatedly as recidivism measures.
And something that I believe contributes to recidivism is trauma and violence that can be portrayed against people who are in correctional facilities, whether they are incarcerated or they are staff. And so I think it really behooves all of us, if we want to see fewer people returning to prison -- also if we want to see people returning to society healthier and ready to contribute to public safety in their communities -- we want to make sure that jails and prisons are safer than they have been demonstrated to be in the past year. In just over a year, we have seen at least two young men murdered by correction officers: Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi.
And I'm grateful that we are passing this amended legislation today to try to really just improve the conditions in our correctional facilities and ensure that there is accountability and adequate oversight.
I vote aye.
ACTING PRESIDENT COONEY:Senator Salazar to be recorded in the affirmative, and we hope you feel better.
