S 3446 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to creating a contraband and drug information hotline

This bill creates a statewide, toll-free hotline for reporting contraband (including weapons, dangerous instruments, and drugs) in New York state correctional facilities. It directly affects incarcerated individuals, staff, and visitors by providing a 24/7 anonymous channel to report contraband introductions or possession. The hotline must accept all reports year-round, with the commissioner required to establish rules for its operation. The law defines "contraband" to cover specific weapons, dangerous objects, and controlled substances as outlined in existing penal codes.
