BILL NUMBER:A9783
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the amount of restitution and reparation to school districts
Purpose or general idea of bill
Requires mandatory restitution and reparation by the court if an officer of a school district is convicted and the victim is such officer's school district.
Summary of specific provisions
Penal law, Section 60.275(a) is amended.
Justification
The stealing of taxpayer dollars by those entrusted with the responsibility of educating our children is not only criminal but immoral. And, those found guilty of stealing from taxpayers and our children's education need to pay a serious price for their depraved actions. The bill will ensure that these criminals are required to repay every last penny to taxpayers instead of leaving it up to the discretion of the court.
