STATEMENT: Senator Ortt's Bill, Amanda Lynn's Law, Enacted
September 23, 2015

ISSUE:
- Crime
“This legislation comes years after intense negotiations, and years after the Amanda Lynn Wienckowski tragedy, so I applaud Governor Cuomo for enacting this bill into law. Today is a small victory for the Wienckowski family, who has been vigorously pushing for Amanda Lynn’s Law day after day, and I hope they can finally breathe a small sigh of relief knowing that the crime now fits the punishment.”
