So they want to be able to yank you out of your home and lock you up for 60-90 days if they feel you are a risk because you "might" have an illness. They could potentially destroy someones career and finances....fucking unbelievable.
The New York assembly is considering a bill that would allow government officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health commissioners to “detain or remove” individuals that they deem a risk to public health.
The bill, first introduced by Democrat New York State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry, grants power to Cuomo and state health officials to forcibly confine any individual who is considered a danger due to a contagious disease or a suspected case of that disease to either a medical facility or another type of space appointed by the governor.
“The governor or his or her delegee may, in his or her discretion, issue and seek enforcement of any other orders that he or she determines are necessary or appropriate to prevent dissemination or transmission of contagious diseases or other illnesses that may pose a threat to the public health,” the bill states.
Requirements for this legal detention include the production of “clear and convincing evidence” by the state as well as a court order "IF THE CUSTODY PROLONGS 60 DAYS". Judicial review is required if an individual is detained for more than 90 days.
Individuals may be released only after subjective scrutiny from health departments, which will determine “that the person is not infected with the disease or that such contact no longer presents a potential danger to the health of others.”
