New York Governor Kathy Hochul policy developments

Overview

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has addressed a range of public safety, consumer protection, and technology policy issues. In mid-August, Hochul reported significant decreases in crime within New York City public housing, noting that murders fell 45% and shootings declined by 33.3% compared to the previous year. During this period, she also issued warnings regarding a potential scam targeting Holocaust survivors by an entity known as the ‘Jewish Holocaust Claims Center’.

By late August, the Governor’s focus expanded to include technology and regulatory policies. This included supporting restrictions on social media use for teenagers and implementing bans on 3D-printed ghost gun parts. Additionally, Hochul has overseen a moratorium on data center construction and addressed the political and societal implications of artificial intelligence.
