BILL NUMBER: S380

SPONSOR: LANZA
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in
relation to requiring certain individuals to wear electronic monitoring
devices

 
PURPOSE:

This bill requires any person against whom an order of protection is
issued to be required to wear an electronic monitoring device.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section
530.15. This requires that any person against whom an order of
protection is issued, shall be required to wear an electronic tagging
device. Also if an individual tampers with the device, they shall be
guilty of a class El felony.

JUSTIFICATION:

In 1999 the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services
received 55,558 police reports of family offenses involving adult inti-
mate partners. In one out of five of these cases the victim knew the
offender and the use of a weapon was involved. An adult female was iden-
tified as the victim in 84% of cases. In a national study of more than
6,000 families, 509E of the men who frequently assaulted their wives
also frequently abused their children. There are also major mental
health issues, with victims often suffering from major depression and
post-traumatic stress disorder. An act of domestic violence occurs every
15 seconds in the United States, more frequent than any other crime. In
light of this frightening statistic legislative action is necessary to
protect both women and children from such violence.
