NOW-NY urges special session on intoxication loophole
Original: NOW-NY urges special session to close voluntary intoxication loophole
The National Organization for Women's New York chapter is calling on state lawmakers to hold a special legislative session to close what it describes as a voluntary intoxication loophole, which can allow defendants to use self-induced intoxication as a defense in criminal cases. The group is pressing legislators to act outside the regular session calendar to change the law.
Why now: Advocacy groups are pushing lawmakers to fix the legal loophole before the legislature can otherwise reconvene.
