BILL NUMBER: S5740 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the correction law, in relation to issues of merit time PURPOSE OF BILL : This bill would correct a technical error in legislative bill A.4561-C. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : § 1 and § 2 of the bill correct a technical error in bill A.4516-C to remove criminal mischief from the list of crimes. §3 is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION : Senate Bill 3438A mistakenly cites criminal mischief offenses as defined in article one-hundred forty-five of the penal law as an offense which are currently ineligible for merit time. That is not the case, and this bill will correct that error and avoid any confusion
