Public Safety & Terrorism
Government’s first priority is to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. That’s why the Assembly Republican Conference has led the fight for the passage of nearly every single important public safety and protection initiate – from restoration of the death penalty and passage of Megan’s Law, to enactment of civil confinement and the defeat of Governor Eliot Spitzer’s unlawful proposal to give illegal aliens driver’s licenses. 
On issue after issue, year after year, the Assembly Republicans have led the way, overcoming countless procedural, legislative and procedural roadblocks thrown up by the Assembly Majority.
The Assembly Republican Conference has again proposed a comprehensive public protection Package, including proposals to protect our most vulnerable populations from sexual predators and other criminals;
suppress the rise of gang violence and gang-related crimes; and prevent, prepare for, identify, and respond to threats and acts of terrorism. Moreover, we ensure that law enforcement officials are provided with the additional tools they need to do their jobs safely and to the best of their abilities.
