Changes the timing of certain discovery requirements to sixty days prior to trial
This bill changes when prosecutors must share evidence with the defense in criminal cases, requiring it to happen no later than 60 days before trial. For defendants in custody, prosecutors must complete this initial sharing within 20 days of arraignment. For defendants not in custody, the deadline is 35 days after arraignment, but still capped at 60 days before trial. The bill directly affects criminal defendants and prosecutors in New York state courts by setting a uniform pre-trial deadline for discovery.
