Headline
Explaining the 2009 NY Rockefeller Drug Law Reforms

Document
Click here to download the document.
In April 2009, Governor David Paterson signed legislation enacting real reform of the NY Rockefeller Drug Laws.  Such changes include eliminating mandatory minimums and returning judicial discretion in most (but not all) drug cases; reforming sentences; expanding drug treatment and alternatives to incarceration; and allowing resentencing of some currently incarcerated people who are serving sentences under the old laws. With these reforms, New York begins its shift away from the Rockefeller Drug Law regime, and toward an approach to drug policy based on public health and safety.

The above document will explain in detail the 2009 Reform Legislation of the NY Rockefeller Drug Laws.  Take some time to familiarize yourself with them.
