The dashboard below provides information on bills CANY has identified as addressing a set of issues uncovered during monitoring activities. The data is pulled from the Open Legislation API, which is maintained by the NY State Senate Technology Services. The tracker includes key information for each bill — including but not limited to the bill’s title, description, sponsor, house of origin, current status, and other details. The dashboard is updated automatically weekly on Mondays, and the date of the most recent update appears at the top right of the dashboard. Please note that bill data is subject to change as legislation progresses. For the most current and official information, refer to the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly bill lookup sites. 

This tracker was created by CANY to increase awareness of the status of the bills highlighted in CANY's policy agenda. While the policy agenda and tracker are not intended to present an exhaustive list of solutions, enactment of these bills would represent an important step toward improving living and working conditions within New York’s prisons.
