                                BILL NUMBER:S3975

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public health law, the penal law, the executive law and the
correction law, in relation to sex offenses facilitated by the use of
drugs commonly referred to as "date rape drugs"

PURPOSE:
To collect specimens searching for controlled substances commonly
known as "date rape drugs" during examinations after a sexual
assault. These tested materials and results shall be collected and
maintained as forensic evidence.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 4-b of section 2805-1 of the
public health law is, amended by adding a new subparagraph 4. §2
section 130.90 shall be amended to read as follows: Facilitating a
sex offense with a controlled substance in the first degree.
Facilitating a sex offense with a controlled substance in the first
degree is a class (D)

C felony. §3 the penal law is amended by adding a new section 130.89
to read as follows: §130.89 Facilitating a sex offense with a
controlled substance in the second degree is a class D felony.

EXISTING LAW:
New law.

JUSTIFICATION:
Unfortunately the use of "date rape" drugs are becoming all too common
in sexual offenses. Any manner of sexual offense is horrendous but to
incorporate an act of violence of this nature and not be able to
remember who, where, what, or why not only makes these crimes more of
a nightmare for a victim who if lucky wakes from these dangerous
drugs not understanding exactly what has happened to them and the
lack of knowledge from the use of these drugs make it virtually
impossible to prosecute a perpetrator. This law would create a new
clause that would make the use of these drugs a felony in the first
degree and would possibly deter these criminals from using these
substances to facilitate these crimes.
