Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to aggravated grand larceny of an automated teller machine
Purpose
To define in the penal law that an automated teller machine includes devices not directly connected, but linked to, a banking institution or a network of banking institutions. The bill also increases the period where a person can be charged with aggravated grand larceny of an automated if previously convicted of grand larceny from five years to ten years
Summary of provisions
Section one amends section 155.00 of the penal law to provide for a definition of an automated teller machine.
Section two amends section 155.43 to increase the period from five to ten years for a person to be liable for a charge of aggravated grand larceny of a teller machine from five to ten years.
Section 3: Effective date.
Justification
Current New York laws allow repeat offenders guilty of robbing substantial funds or cyber hacking an ATM to receive probation or minimal prison time for their crimes.
In addition, current definitions of ATM's do not adequately devices not physically located or connected to a bank, including machines that operate through a network of banking providers.
This bill would provide for greater sentencing options and treat all ATM's more equally, to further discourage financial crimes against any ATM in the State.
