NY A00204

Requires the New York State Comptroller to publish annual reports on all legal settlement payments related to law enforcement activity, including monetary amounts, plaintiffs, named parties, and descriptions of allegations or misconduct

Covers settlements involving local police departments, local correctional facilities, county sheriffs, state police, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and any agency employing peace officers

Allows plaintiffs to request use of a pseudonym in reports, but defendants named in settlements must be identified by their actual names without the option for anonymity

Mandates law enforcement agencies report settlement information to the Comptroller; failure to comply results in loss of state funding eligibility and accreditation from the Division of Criminal Justice Services

Creates parallel reporting requirements for New York City, requiring the NYC Comptroller to publish similar annual reports with the same pseudonym rules and penalties for non-compliance
