A 3724 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires district attorney ethics guidelines to be based exclusively on guidelines set by the New York state bar association

This bill requires all New York district attorneys to follow ethics rules created exclusively by the New York State Bar Association. It mandates that their official ethics guidelines must be based solely on the Bar Association's standards, as specified in the New York Rules of Professional Conduct (22 NYCRR 1200). The law directly affects every district attorney's office in New York by standardizing ethics oversight and eliminating alternative guideline sources. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
