Voting & Elections

Beephan wants to see a return to sensible legislation for public protection. “We’ve heard hundreds of horror stories caused as a direct result of bail reform policies and the loss of judicial discretion, and we know changes have to be made,” Beephan said. “New Yorkers have repeatedly told us they don’t feel as safe, and they are begging for common sense changes. This will be a long fight, but I’m committed to advocating to see bail reform fixed and a prompt return to a sense of safety in our neighborhoods.”

Anil has introduced legislation creating an aggravated reckless endangerment offense that could qualify for bail consideration and has supported measures addressing human trafficking, repeat domestic violence offenders, and other serious crimes affecting families and communities.

Following the murder of Wappinger resident Melanie Chianese, Anil worked alongside Assemblyman Brian Cunningham and Senators Michelle Hinchey and Rob Rolison on Melanie’s Law. The bipartisan legislation closed a gap in New York’s order-of-protection laws by expanding protections available to family and household members of domestic violence victims regardless of age.

Anil serves on the Assembly Standing Committee on Correction and has maintained close relationships with correction officers and their representatives. He has advocated for changes to policies affecting staffing and safety inside state prisons, including reforms to the HALT Act and disciplinary procedures.

Assemblyman Anil Beephan, Jr. (R-East Fishkill) added, “My heart goes out to those impacted by domestic violence.

Through working with Assemblyman Cunningham on Melanie’s Law, I remain committed to addressing existing loopholes that only exacerbate the danger faced by those impacted by domestic violence.

I call on the New York State Assembly to pass Melanie’s law when we return to Albany and thank the Senate for their unanimous support of the bill.”

This bill would close a loophole related to orders of protection, allowing courts to extend such orders to all of the named victim’s family and household members.

Since taking office in the State Assembly in 2023, public safety has remained a major focus of Anil’s legislative work. Early in his first term, he called for changes to New York’s bail laws and the restoration of greater judicial discretion.
