BILL NUMBER:S6036
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the crime of exposure of a person
Purpose
To amend New York's Penal Law § 345.01 which currently only finds men not women guilty of exposure in a public place in such a manner to expose private or intimate body. This act calls for equality to include women.
Summary of provisions
There currently exists a trend where individuals pose painted and nude in public in return for money from spectators and photographers. This act seeks to address these conditions on the basis of public moral issues in that it exposes children, their parents and other individuals to circumstances that are not within their choice and would be best addressed in an adult theater or establishment.
Existing law
The current law in the State does not prohibit the upper exposure of women and men.
Justification
In addition to the moral circumstances regarding this exhibitionism, this conduct threatens the economic stability of the area and will act as a deterrent for tourists and families.
