New York legislators are pushing a new proposal to reform the state's laws on discovery that would establish a stringent schedule for prosecutors and defense attorneys to exchange evidence and material they intend to use at trial early on in a criminal proceeding.

The bills contains most of the provisions Gov. Andrew Cuomo included in his executive budget last week that would update the state's decades-old laws on discoverable material, which can currently be withheld from defendants until just days before their trial.

The bill is sponsored by Assemblyman Joe Lentol, D-Brooklyn, and State Sen. Jamaal Bailey, D-Bronx. Both lawmakers chair their respective Codes Committee, which typically reviews legislation involving criminal justice reform before it heads to the floor for a vote.
