NY S00613

Grants district attorneys' offices direct access to all electronic record systems (documents, audio, video) of police departments and agencies within their county for criminal case discovery purposes

Requires police departments to issue at least one login credential to each district attorney's office, plus one additional credential for every 20,000 county residents

Login credentials may be restricted to view-only access (no ability to edit or delete) and limited to materials related to actual cases

Departments serving 100,000+ residents must provide access within the district attorney's physical office; smaller departments must provide access at an easily accessible police precinct

Takes effect 90 days after becoming law, intended to reduce delays and administrative burdens created by 2020 discovery reforms
