  • Uniting NYS is proud to announce that we teamed up with a group of NYS Legislators, and together we successfully sued Governor Hochul, DOH Commissioner Bassett, the Department of Health, and the Public Health & Health Planning Council over their illegal forced “Isolation and Quarantine” regulation!  We are proud to be standing together as petitioners with Senator George Borrello, Assemblyman Mike Lawler, and Assemblyman Chris Tague in our pursuit of justice.  We have additional support from Assemblyman and Minority Pro Tempore Andrew Goodell, Assemblyman and Minority Leader William Barclay and Assemblyman Joseph Giglio who have filed an amazing Amicus Brief in favor of our case!
These legislators are true leaders.

 

We WON!

NYS Supreme Court Judge Ronald Ploetz has ruled in our favor!  The Governor’s forced quarantine regulation has been STRUCK DOWN as unconstitutional.  It is null, void and unenforceable, and the Court has prohibited the Governor and DOH from continuing to issue the regulation!

Hochul APPEALED!  Help Us Defeat the Appeal!

 

 
We have won, but tyrannical Governor Hochul  APPEALED our win.  She is trying to overthrow the Supreme Court Judge’s ruling. 
*HOCHUL WANTS THE POWER TO LOCK YOU UP IN QUARANTINE CAMPS!*

The Regulation…

10 NYCRR 2.13 “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures”
  • Allows the DOH to pick and choose who they want to force to isolate or quarantine, without proof that the person poses a health threat, for however long the DOH wishes to force the quarantine, and at a location that the DOH deems appropriate (which can include a quarantine “facility” or detention center).
  • They do not need to prove that you are actually sick.  They can just suspect that you MIGHT be harboring a communicable disease.
  • There is no age restriction, so they can force you, or your child, or your elderly parent/grandparent into isolation or quarantine, for however long they want!
  • It is the antithesis of what our country stands for, so we intend to stop them!
You can read the full text of the regulation on pages 11-13 of the Judge’s decision, here: Court decision   

The Lawsuit…

Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox, of Cox Lawyers, PLLC, filed the lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court the beginning of April.  The case is all about separation of powers between the Executive branch of government (the Governor and DOH) vs the Legislative branch of government (our State Senators and Assembly Members).  This “regulation” is really a law that the Governor and DOH are illegally forcing on the people.  Only the Legislative branch has the power to make law.  The Governor and her Department of Health do not have the power to force people to isolate or quarantine.  This is a clear example of extreme government overreach.  When one branch of government usurps the power of the other branch(es), that is tyranny.
