Establishes the free speech protection act and prevents the transfer of information on legal protest activities to the federal government

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Executive Law that bars state and local police from providing any information about constitutionally protected protests to the federal government. It still allows ordinary criminal investigations, but no details about participants in protected expressive activity can be forwarded to federal agents. Violations could trigger civil lawsuits against the offending agency with damages and attorney fees.
