BILL NUMBER:S5536A
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to larceny of an automated teller machine
Purpose
To extend the crimes covered by grand larceny in the second and third degrees to include the theft of an ATM, or the theft of the contents of an ATM.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 states that grand larceny in the third degree shall include when an automated teller machine or the content of such machine is stolen.
Section 2 makes someone guilty of aggravated grand larceny in the second degree when they have previously committed grand larceny in the third degree within the previous five years.
Justification
With the proliferation of ATM's across New York, it is critically impor- tant that we criminalize their theft appropriately. Current law provides inadequate punishment for individuals who are convicted of this crime. By raising the level of penalty to a C Felony, or to a B for a persistent offender, we are strengthening our law.
