BARNWELL -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Codes AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to mandatory sentencing for a person found guilty of criminal contempt in the first degree THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

SENTENCES FOR EACH VIOLATION SHALL NOT RUN CONCURRENTLY. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
