        proposing  an amendment to article 1 of the constitution, in relation to
          the abolition of slavery for persons convicted of crimes
 
     1    Section 1. Resolved (if the Senate concur),  That  article  1  of  the
     2  constitution be amended by adding a new section 20 to read as follows:
     3    §  20.  Abolition  of slavery for persons convicted of crimes. Neither
     4  slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in the state of  New  York
     5  for  persons  convicted  of  crimes.   No incarcerated individual in any
     6  state or local  prison,  penitentiary,  jail  or  reformatory  shall  be
     7  compelled  or induced to provide labor against his or her will by actual
     8  or threatened force, punishment, sexual assault, or by any  other  means
     9  reasonably  likely  to cause the incarcerated individual to believe that
    10  if they do not provide such labor that  they  or  another  person  would
    11  suffer  physical,  emotional  or  mental  harm,  or other adverse conse-
    12  quences.  This section shall be self-executing.
    13    § 2. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That the foregoing  be  referred
    14  to  the  first  regular  legislative  session  convening  after the next
    15  succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and, in conform-
    16  ity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be published for 3
    17  months previous to the time of such election.
