TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the criminal procedure law, the alcoholic beverage
control law, the administrative code of the city of New York, the
correction law, the civil rights law, the civil service law, the execu-
tive law, the general business law, the public authorities law, the
public health law, the public officers law, the penal law, the tax law
and the workers' compensation law, in relation to peace officers; and to
repeal certain provisions of the criminal procedure law relating thereto
PURPOSE:
This legislation would create statewide process for determining which
officials may be granted peace officer status.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends the Criminal Procedure Law to designate various classes
of persons as peace officers. This includes, but is not limited to, parole and warrant officers, probation officers, officials of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, uniformed court officers, constables, harbor masters, fire inspectors and marshalls, those employed by a college, university, sheriff or police department as members of the security force of a college or university, the welfare inspector general, the workers' compensation fraud inspector general, parks, recreation or forest rangers and special policemen. Sections 2 through 32 amend coordinating sections of law to make conforming changes. Section 32 establishes an effective date of 180 days after it shall become law. JUSTIFICATION: In past years, the Governor has vetoed bills that would grant peace officer status to various officials. In his veto memos, he has recom- mended that the Legislature create a comprehensive process for determin- ing which categories of officials, on a statewide basis, should be granted peace officer status. This legislation, drafted by the DCJS, is a blanket wide bill designed to address the state's needs. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2019- 2020: S.155-A referred to Codes/A.8071 referred to Codes FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
