✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would prevent police officers from arresting someone based solely on personal traits like race, gender, age, or appearance. It aims to protect New Yorkers from discriminatory policing practices. Officers would need actual evidence of wrongdoing, not just someone's physical characteristics, to make an arrest.
