S 7255: Relates to the imposition of securing orders for felonies by individuals without permanent residency status; provides such individuals shall be remanded to the custody of the sheriff for the entirety of the judicial proceedings related thereto.
What S 7255 does, verified January 9, 2026
The proposed law aims to ensure the secure detention of individuals without permanent residency status who are charged with felonies in New York. The law would require the court to remand such individuals to the custody of the sheriff, rather than allowing them to be held in a correctional facility. This remand would not be reversible until the completion of the judicial proceedings related to the crime. The law would take effect 30 days after its passage.
