BILL NUMBER:S6202
Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to authorizing non-residents of the county of Allegany to be appointed as peace officers by the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals of such county
Purpose
This bill authorizes non-residents of the county of Allegany to be appointed as peace officers for the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals for such county.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends subdivision 1 of section 3-b of the public officers law to authorize non-residents of Allegany county to be appointed as peace officers for the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Justification
Among its duties, many chapters of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) investigate complaints of animal cruelty. The SPCA serving Allegany County has its own cruelty investigation unit, which registers its cruelty investigators as peace officers with the NYS Department of Criminal Justice Services.
Because of its small population and location in a rural area, SPCA serving Allegany County employs some cruelty investigators that live outside Allegany County. However, as these investigators work but do not live in Allegany County, by current law they cannot be appointed as peace officers. This legislation would correct this issue and allow these cruelty investigators to be appointed as peace officers.
