“New York state will now empower crime victims, giving them the support they need to get back on their feet after crimes of gross reckless endangerment that leave emotional and mental scars," Rajkumar said. "With the signing of my bill, we are recognizing that all victims of serious crimes need our help.”

“With a new year comes a new era of dignity and respect for our domestic workers,” Rajkumar said, "They are a cornerstone of our economy and our society. By caring for our children, our aging parents and our loved ones with disabilities, they allow so many of us the flexibility to pursue careers.”
