The MTA will be encouraged — but not required — to install security cameras on all of its subway platforms under a weakened version of “Sedrick’s Law” signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday.by Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte and Sen. Kevin Parker, both Brooklyn Democrats, would have required the MTA install cameras on all of its subway platforms within six months of its becoming law.
The changes made to her initial proposal “allow flexibility for potential changes of camera placements to ensure maximum safety, due to a looming NYC budget gap and ongoing major MTA transit system redevelopment projects,” Bichotte told The Post. “We agree that having cameras throughout the system serves as deterrent to crime and material support for investigating crimes that occur and for catching those responsible.”
Simon’s sister Jennifer Muhammad said she did not know the bill had been changed, but welcomed its passage regardless.
