PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To establish a constitutional right to
privacy, to establish a children`s bill of rights, and to repeal a
provision of the state constitution which requires courts to place
children in the custody of persons of the same religious persuasion.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Amends article 1 and repeals section 32
of article 6 of the New York State Constitution.
JUSTIFICATION: Currently there is no provision in the state Constitution
expressly guaranteeing a right to privacy. This provision incorporates
a privacy right in the constitution. This amendment will also recognize
the rights and special needs of children. Its provisions are based on
recommendations advanced by a United Nations taskforce on this subject.
Section 32 of article 6 of the constitution should be deleted in the
recognition that the placement of children for adoptions should be
guided by the overall best interest of the child.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A.8992 (1997-98)
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Resolved (if the Senate concur), That the foregoing
amendment be referred to the first regular legislative session convening
after the next succeeding general election of members of the assembly,
and in conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be
published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
