MINOR
The bill was amended to add three new co-sponsors and include an additional round of committee reporting, indicating further legislative review. Substantively, the definition of an 'unfounded claim' was modified to explicitly state that the allegation must lack a 'factual basis' and be determined 'false' during the investigation, clarifying the standard for dismissal compared to the previous version.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on sealing unfounded, exonerated, and pending claims against law enforcement officers in New York, but the criteria for what constitutes an 'unfounded claim' were refined.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'unfounded claim' was updated to require that the allegation be determined 'false' and lack a 'factual basis' upon investigation, adding specific language to clarify the standard for dismissal.
SCOPE
Three new legislators (Paulin, Braunstein, and Cunningham) were added to the list of bill sponsors.
