Franklin County schedules review and later records adoption related to police reform plan (EO 203)
Summary
The county index records a public hearing date to discuss Executive Order 203 (police reform) and a later entry that the Legislature approved the sheriff department’s police reform policy in March 2021; the index entry does not include the policy text or voting record.
The resolution index references Executive Order 203 (New York State police reform and reinvention) and shows the Franklin County Legislature set a public hearing date to discuss the county police reform plan. Later entries in March 2021 indicate the Legislature approved the Sheriff’s Department’s police reform policy.
The index entries document the scheduling of a hearing and the subsequent resolution that the county approves the Sheriff’s Department policy implementing police reform provisions. The index does not include the policy text, summary of changes, public comments from the hearing, or any recorded vote totals.
Why it matters: Executive Order 203 required local law enforcement agencies to review and adopt reform plans; the index shows Franklin County followed the procedural steps to set a hearing and adopt a policy, but the operative policy details and any public feedback are not included here.
What remains open: the full policy text, record of public testimony, and vote tallies are not specified in the resolution index and should be obtained from the county’s published minutes or the sheriff’s office for a complete record.
