Friend,
As we continue to fight COVID-19, I want to make sure you are also aware
of significant changes we achieved to New York's dangerous bail reform
while we were in Albany earlier this month.
Over 18,000 of you signed a petition
and even more joined me in being vocal against the disastrous bail
reform which took effect on January 1st and reduced our safety and
increased crime in our city and state.

At the beginning of March, Nicole was invited on FOX & Friends to
discuss the bail reform and fixes to the law getting closer.

Â
Fixing the botched bail reform has been one of my top priorities and
we've made progress under the one-party rule in Albany. After
countless press conferences, community outrage, and pressure we put on
Governor Cuomo and the Democrats, here's what we achieved:
A large number of offenses were added to the list of "qualifying
offenses" that are eligible for bail:
* Class A-I felony drug offenses;
* Sex trafficking;
* Money laundering in support of terrorism in the 3rd and 4th degrees;
* Strangulation
* Promoting a sexual performance by a child;
* Any crime that is alleged to cause the death of another person;
* Vehicular assault in the 1st degree;

The changes also fixed issues that district attorneys had with discovery
reform and better protects victims and witnesses personal information.
It's been a long-fought battle, but we persisted and were able to
achieve significant changes to the botched bail reform adopted by the
governor with one-party rule in last year's budget. <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Not only did we
add a significant number of offenses to those that qualify for bail, we
added provisions to stop "unlimited chances"</span> by ensuring that a
person who either commits a crime after being released on their own
recognizance, is on probation or is on post release supervision will
have to face a judge in court who will be able to set bail.

Appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight in November 2019, Nicole brought
national attention to New York's radical bail law and launched her
petition.

Â
I'm happy to have worked with the District Attorneys' Association,
police unions, my colleagues and the public to demand common-sense
changes to protect public safety.
While more still needs to be done, this is a big step in the right
direction. Thank you for your help in making these improvements a
reality.
Sincerely,
Nicole Malliotakis
