The primary focus of business meetings is to address the internal business of the Commission, including discussions, decision-making, planning by Commissioners, and voting on resolutions as necessary. A quorum of at least five commissioners must be present to hold any votes. <\/p>\n

These meetings are open to the public; however, because they are devoted primarily to Commission business, time for receiving public comment may be limited to a short period at the end of the meeting. Business meetings will be livestreamed, and video recordings will be available on the Commission’s website for later viewing. <\/p>\n

The NYSCCRR continues its statewide work studying the economic, social, and political impacts of slavery and systemic racism in New York State. Additional public hearings and business meetings are scheduled throughout 2026.<\/p>\n
