BILL NUMBER:S2084
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to bias related crime
Summary
This legislation would add a new article to the penal law relating to bias-related crime. This legislation is a comprehensive approach under one statute to address all the means by which an individual may be victimized by crimes of hatred. This bill also denies youthful offender status to those youth who commit crimes which are bias-related.
Justification
Currently, there is no existing statute in the penal law referring to victims and crimes of bias-related motives. This legislation is an attempt to fill a large void in New York's existing statutory scheme. This legislation creates designated acts similar to the violent felony offenders act and the juvenile offenders act.
Fiscal implication
None to the State.
EFFECTIVE DATE On the first of November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
