Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to establishing the crime of exposure of a person on school grounds
Purpose
Establishes the crime of exposure on school grounds as an E-Felony.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends the penal law to increase the penalties for inappropriate exposure of intimate parts on school grounds. It encompasses the violation as revealing to include any intimate or private areas of an individual's body as being unclothed or exposed. Included is the breast area of a female below the areola, with the exception of breast feeding for infants or entertainers performing in a play, exhibition, or show.
Justification
Protecting our children from adverse behavior begins on school grounds. Providing additional protections to our school property prohibiting the display of such vile behavior to our youth is of the utmost importance. Children need not be exposed or affected by such adverse behavior while attending an educational .facility. In addition to protecting our youth, increasing the criminal punishment will deter such perverse behavior on school grounds. Raising the criminal penalties to an E felony will provide swift and severe punishment to those who would endanger the welfare of children who, while under the vigilance of school faculty, are away from the safety of their homes under the protection of this great state.
