The proposal would create “a new Class B misdemeanor to crack down on individuals who use a mask to conceal their identity when committing a Class A misdemeanor or higher crime or fleeing the scene immediately after committing such a crime,” according to a press release from Hochul’s office. Despite Hochul walking back her original proposal, activists say these new rules would still harm the community.
