 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Paragraph 1 of subdivision (c) of section 440 of the New

 4 1. The board and the police commissioner shall have concurrent juris-
 5 diction over the discipline of the New York city police department and
 6 of the police force of the department. The board shall have the power to
 7 receive, investigate, hear, make findings and [recommend action] recom-
 8 mendations, and impose any penalty or level of discipline upon
 9 complaints, and the resolution thereof, by members of the public or
 10 complaints initiated by the board against members of the police depart-
 11 ment that allege misconduct involving excessive use of force, abuse of
 12 authority including bias-based policing and racial profiling, discourte-
 13 sy, or use of offensive language, including, but not limited to, slurs
 14 relating to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and
 15 disability. The board shall also have the power to investigate, hear,
 16 make findings and [recommend action] recommendations, and impose any
 17 penalty or level of discipline regarding the truthfulness of any materi-
 18 al official statement made by a member of the police department who is
 19 the subject of a complaint received or initiated by the board, if such
 20 statement was made during the course of and in relation to the board's
 21 resolution of such complaint. The findings [and], recommendations,
 22 penalties or discipline of the board, and the basis therefor, shall be
 23 submitted to the police commissioner. No finding or recommendation shall
 24 be based solely upon an unsworn complaint or statement, nor shall prior
 25 unsubstantiated, unfounded or withdrawn complaints be the basis for any
 26 such finding [or], recommendation, penalty or discipline.
 27 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
