Jordan Davidson<\/a> – January<\/span> 3, 2021<\/p>\n

The New York assembly is considering a bill<\/a> that would allow government officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health commissioners to \u201cdetain or remove\u201d individuals that they deem a risk to public health.<\/p>\n

The bill, first introduced by Democrat New York State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry, grants power to Cuomo and state health officials to forcibly confine any individual who is considered a danger due to a contagious disease or a suspected case of that disease to either a medical facility or another type of space appointed by the governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor or his or her delegee may, in his or her discretion, issue and seek enforcement of any other orders that he or she determines are necessary or appropriate to prevent dissemination or transmission of contagious diseases or other illnesses that may pose a threat to the public health,\u201d the bill states.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation does not name COVID-19 specifically.\u00a0Instead, it claims that, in addition to being detained, individuals who are exposed or infected by a \u201ccommunicable disease\u201d resulting in \u201csevere morbidity or high mortality\u201d may also be subjected to tests, medical examinations, treatment, preventative medication, and vaccination by the state while being held.<\/p>\n

Requirements for this legal detention include the production of \u201cclear and convincing evidence\u201d by the state as well as a court order if the custody prolongs 60 days. Judicial review is required if an individual is detained for more than 90 days.<\/p>\n

Individuals may be released only after subjective scrutiny from health departments, which will determine \u201cthat the person is not infected with the disease or that such contact no longer presents a potential danger to the health of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
