BILL NUMBER:S951A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to bias-related graffiti SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of this bill amends Section 485.05 of the Penal Law as amended by chapter 405 of the laws of 2010, by adding section 145.60. This subdivision adds the language "etches, paints, covers, draws upon or otherwise places a mark upon public or private property" to the crime of aggravated harassment in the first degree. JUSTIFICATION: This bill proposes enhanced penalties for bias-related graffiti in recognition of the particularly sensitive nature of such graffiti. Graffiti that is based upon hate should receive a tighter penalty. Enhancing the penalty will serve to reinforce the seriousness of this crime and prove to offenders that New York State does not tolerate bias in any form. Currently, graffiti is treated as a Class A misdemeanor in Section 145.60 of the Penal Law. This legislation would include bias-related graffiti under the section of law that currently covers desecration of religious property. Under this bill, bias-related graffiti would be considered a Class E felony. This would increase the allowable penalty for bias-related graffiti from up to one year in jail under a Class A
