Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (R,C-Staten Island/Brooklyn), alongside Assemblyman Mike Reilly (R,C-Staten Island) and Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, has announced the passage of “Detective Brian Simonsen’s Law,” a bipartisan proposal that mandates cell phone providers to immediately disable services to stolen cell phones. The bill, which has passed in the Assembly, aims to prevent stolen cell phones from being used with Wi-Fi or internationally by requiring service providers to completely disable them.
