Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to further roll back parts of the state’s controversial criminal justice reform law — including closing the “Raise the Age” loophole.
The measures, stemming from negotiations between the governor and state lawmakers and unveiled as part of, will also stiffen gun-trafficking laws and allow more repeat offenders to be held in jail.
“But I also said we have to realize there are areas where improvements can and need to be made,” she continued. The proposals will close loopholes in the “Raise the Age” law to hold more defendants under 18 accountable and target repeat offenders who would not have been jailed under the 2019 soft-on-crime reforms — particularly in gun cases.
