AC § 34-206

No later than 1 year following the conclusion of the truth and reconciliation process required by this chapter, CORE shall publish a report on the history and legacies of slavery in the city of New York, including but not limited to the legacies and badges of such slavery, if any, that continue to undermine racial equity in the city of New York in the present day. The report shall, at a minimum: a. Document the findings of the truth and reconciliation process, including the experiences and recommendations shared by participants, including those affected by slavery and its legacies in or in connection with the city of New York; and b. Recommend steps that the city can take to address, repair, and combat race-based discrimination and injustice in the present and future, which may include but need not be limited to proposed steps toward memorialization, as described in section 34-207; recommendations regarding specific cases for referral to any local, state, or national reparations mechanism that exists or may exist in future, or to any other tribunal, as appropriate; and identification of other grave injustices raised during the truth and reconciliation process but outside the scope of this chapter that may benefit from a separate, dedicated truth and reconciliation process.
