Rockefeller urges broader public review of adoptions
Governor Rockefeller urged greater public scrutiny of adoption actions in a memorandum criticizing a bill that would allow appeals of agency placements to the State Social Service Department. He warned the bill lacks standards and procedural guidance and could weaken the adoption system. The governor vetoed several bills, including penalties for near power lines, licensing actions against physicians and therapists, and a claims suit related to a 1942 murder conviction. He also signed measures expanding Housing Finance Agency borrowing for mental hygiene bonds and allowing police to arrest felons anywhere in the state.
