BILL NUMBER:S643 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to sentence for persistent misdemeanor offenders SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 70.16 to the penal law which defines a persistent misdemeanor offender as a person who stands convicted of a misdemeanor after having previously been convicted of five or more crimes within the last five years (excluding time during which the defendant was incarcerated). When sentencing a persistent misdemeanor offender, the court must impose a definite sentence of imprisonment of no less than thirty days, and may impose any sentence authorized by law other than and in addition to such sentence of imprisonment. Adds new section 400.14 to the criminal procedure law which addresses the procedure for determining whether a defendant should be sentenced as a persistent misdemeanor offender. The court shall consider the history and character of the defendant and the nature and circumstances of his criminal conduct, as well as the public interest, when determining the length of the definite sentence to be imposed. The court may order a hearing to determine whether a persistent misdemeanor offender sentence should be imposed.
