The continued violence against New York’s incredible AAPI community is disgusting, wholly un-American and must be condemned and combatted at every turn. Every American deserves freedom, economic opportunity, and safety without fear of the hatred that has become a daily occurrence on New York streets. This bipartisan legislation takes real concrete steps to combat this hate by empowering state and local governments to improve reporting and strengthen the flow of information from local law enforcement agencies. We must bring the perpetrators of these disgusting crimes to justice, and this legislation helps give us the tools to do so.

To accommodate and sustain long-term travel throughout the region, we must address Smith Point Bridge’s existing deficiencies and make real infrastructure improvements that enhance transportation safety and efficiency for Long Island residents and visitors.
