Governor Cuomo today unveiled the 4th proposal of his 2020
State of the State agenda; closing the rape intoxication loophole. Current Law
does not adequately protect victims of sexual offenses who could not consent to
sexual activity due to voluntary intoxication.
Under current law, a person is deemed incapable of consent when he or
she is mentally incapacitated, but it states mental incapacitation occurs when
a person involuntarily ingests drugs or alcohol. The exclusion of
incapacitation due to the voluntary ingestion of drugs or alcohol limits the
ability to fully prosecute sexual assaults.
State Supreme Court Judge Richard Rich Jr. has denied a

votes.

of the State agenda: legislation banning fentanyl analogs, which is a deadly
synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, by making

controlled substances. The legislation will give the State Health Commissioner
the power to ban any new fentanyl analogs that have been added to the federal
schedule of controlled substances, The Governor will also propose a series of
