Expressing solidarity with the New York State corrections officers striking for better working conditions.
HRES 208 is a non-binding House resolution expressing solidarity with New York State corrections officers who are striking over unsafe working conditions. It cites rising assaults on staff (2,070 in 2024), staffing shortages (down to 13,886 officers in 2025), and the HALT Act's restrictions on solitary confinement as key issues driving the strike. The resolution urges the New York State Legislature to repeal the HALT Act and condemns Governor Hochul's response to the strike. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new law or directly affect policy.
