The New York Senate voted to repeal a 44-year-old provision that had previously shielded police officers’ disciplinary records from being released to the public, an early sign that the nationwide police brutality protests are advancing actionable change

On Tuesday, the senate overturned the provision 40-22, with all Republicans voting against the measure. Governor Cuomo has publicly said he will sign the bill once it crosses his desk. The bill is part of a package of various police reform bills the state senate has taken up this week.

“Black people and all people of color are not anti-police, we are anti-bad police,” Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes added at a news conference. “For generations, we have been hunted, abused, mentally and physically, by bad police. Those who are supposed to serve and protect us.”
