New York lawmakers have greenlighted changes to loosen discovery deadlines for prosecutors, one in a series of trims to landmark criminal justice reforms that went into place at the beginning of this year. 

Under the changes, prosecutors will be given 20 days to produce discovery information after an arraignment, if a defendant is in custody on a misdemeanor or felony. The amendments give prosecutors 35 days following an arraignment if an arrestee has been released in misdemeanor or felony cases.
