☆ Attention, New York Adulterers: Your Sin May Soon No Longer Be a Crime
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Erin Nolan | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

In the halls of the New York State Capitol, with a budget deadline bearing down, it seems that all that anyone wants to talk about is adultery. An antiquated but seldom-enforced state law categorizes adultery as a crime, and past efforts to repeal it have gone nowhere. But that seems poised to change. The Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of a bill to repeal the adultery law last month, and a Senate committee last week moved a matching bill to the floor for a full vote that could come as soon as this week. The developments have attracted global attention, with the Assembly bill’s sponsor, Charles Lavine, a Democrat from Long Island, fielding interview requests from Europe to South America.

Ms. Salazar did not respond to a message seeking comment on Thursday. Assemblyman Charles Lavine, a Nassau Democrat who sponsored the legislation, said he wrote the bill because he did not know corporal punishment was allowed in private schools until reading about it in The Times. “I am very pleased that New York is protecting our children by outlawing the use of physical punishment in our schools,” he said on Thursday. In June, New York City completed its own long-stalled investigation into Hasidic boys’ schools.
