Following the death of a neglected three-year-old in Saratoga County last year, state lawmakers and county officials want to increase sentences for criminally negligent homicide. Authored by State Sen. Jim Tedisco and Assemblyman Matt Simpson, "Joycelynn's Law" is in response to the February 2025 death of Joycelynn Dylewski. The lawmakers' bill would create the new crime of "Aggravated Endangering the Welfare of a Child." In cases resulting in the death of a child, the maximum sentence would be raised to 25 years to life. Saratoga County Sheriff Jeffrey Brown, Saratoga County District Attorney Brett Eby, and Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh also support the bill.
