Q&A

Chair asks what changes Intro 1104 requires; McKenzie says it aligns with practice

New York City Council · Oct 26, 2026 · starts 1:00:07 · 1 min 33 sec

Brooks-Powers asks what resources, training, or procedural changes DOP would need for Intro 1104. McKenzie says much of the bill aligns with DOP business practices and the Family Court Act, but DOP has recommendations, such as changing the adult term 'PSI' to fit family court.

Stacey Dessimore

We try to gather information on how the young person is functioning within the community.

Stacey Dessimore

All those things, and to let them know this is what we're taking into consideration when we're making a determination.

Stacey Dessimore

We also let them know just that the process is voluntary, right, and that they don't have to participate if they don't want to.

Stacey Dessimore

But we do give them the notice in hand, but we also have a conversation once we sit with them in person.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Thank you.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

What resources, staff training, or procedural changes would the department need to implement in show 1104?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

What resources, staff training, or procedural changes would the department need to implement in Tro 1104?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

So what changes would you need to do in order to be in compliance with this local law?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

What is intro?

Wayne McKenzie

I don't know if we require any procedural trainings.

Wayne McKenzie

A lot of what's in 1104.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Changes, not trainings.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Oh.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Changes.

Wayne McKenzie

A lot of what's in 1104 already aligns with much of our business practices and notices that we're required to give.

Wayne McKenzie

By the Family Court Act.

Wayne McKenzie

Now, there may be certain recommendations that we have that we think can bring 1104 more in alignment with our business practices and the wordings of, for example, the Family Court Act.
