Authored by a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly N. Nick Perry, Bill A416 calls for the “removal and/or detention” of individuals who are identified as a “case, contact or carrier” of a contagious disease.
The law apparently allows the governor or health official to unilaterally approve such detentions
Citizens that are placed in detention will be released once health authorities determine that they are no longer contagious
The bill also allows the governor or relevant health authorities to require people deemed potential health risks to submit to medical examinations as well as undergo a “prescribed course of treatment, preventative medication or vaccination.”

You should look up 5150.
The bill will not pass as a tool is already in place.
Almost a decade ago I got a 5150 for freaking getting rid of the damn Facebook. Freaking was not cool man.
Section 5150 states that someone who, as a result mental illness, presents a danger to themselves or others, or who is gravely disabled by their mental illness, can be detained for 72 hours for evaluation in a psychiatric facility

Couldn’t they just tweak the quarantine act? To make it fit?
They don’t need another law on the books.
Aren’t they supposed to cancel 3 stupid laws for every new law that comes in?

Here's the bill if anyone wants to read it and make up their own mind.

My opinion after reading.
Absolute bs. I would never live in a city that had this as a law.
If i'm reading it correctly it states that the governor will decide who is a health risk. And that the people can be detained if a health emergency is declared.
That is to much power to give any leader. They decide to declare and it gives the declarers much more power.
