Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"The important legislation passed by the
Senate and Assembly today sends a strong message that New York State has zero
tolerance for domestic violence. This legislation will strengthen the state's
existing laws to ensure that those who repeatedly commit domestic violence
crimes are subject to stricter bail requirements and harsher penalties, so that
innocent victims no longer have to live in fear of harm or continued abuse. New
York State will be a safer place for our children and families as a result of this
legislation, and I thank Majority Leader Skelos, Speaker Silver, and the
sponsors for their hard work on this critical bill."
