What's happening

This bill grants police officer status to certain Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority employees and repeals related provisions.

Why it matters

  1. Authority-specific scope. The change targets the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, rather than bridge and tunnel employees statewide. It names officers, sergeants and lieutenants, not all authority employees.

  2. Legal reclassification. The bill would add those ranks to the Criminal Procedure Law’s definition of police officer and repeal subdivision 20 of section 2.10, changing their statutory status rather than merely their job titles.

  3. Immediate effect. The bill would take effect immediately, with no phase-in period specified for the change in status.

Who cares

  • Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority officers

    The bill would expressly place their rank within the statutory definition of police officer.

  • Authority sergeants and lieutenants

    Both supervisory ranks are expressly included in the proposed classification.

  • Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority management

    The bill would change the legal status of three specified ranks within its workforce.
