  general  business law, in relation to criminal use of a firearm in the
  first degree and to repeal certain provisions of the penal law  relat-
  ing thereto

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 265.09 of the penal law, as amended by chapter  650
of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows:
S 265.09 Criminal use of a firearm in the first degree.
  (1)  A  person  is  guilty  of  criminal use of a firearm in the first
degree when he OR SHE commits any [class B violent] felony  offense  [as
defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of subdivision one of section 70.02] and he
[either:
  (a) possesses a deadly weapon, if the weapon is a loaded  weapon  from
which a shot, readily capable of producing death or other serious injury
may be discharged; or
  (b)]  OR  SHE  displays  what appears to be a pistol, revolver, rifle,
shotgun, machine gun or other firearm.
  Criminal use of a firearm in the first degree is a class B felony.
  (2) Sentencing. Notwithstanding any other  provision  of  law  to  the
contrary, when a person is convicted of criminal use of a firearm in the
first  degree  as  defined in subdivision one of this section, the court
shall impose [an additional] A consecutive sentence of five years to the
minimum term of [an indeterminate] THE sentence imposed on the  underly-
ing  [class B violent] felony offense where the person convicted of such
crime displays [a loaded weapon from which a shot,  readily  capable  of
producing death or other serious injury may be discharged,] WHAT APPEARS
TO  BE  A PISTOL, REVOLVER, RIFLE, SHOTGUN, MACHINE GUN OR OTHER FIREARM

such  additional  sentence  shall  not  be  imposed if the court, having
regard to the nature and circumstances of the crime and to  the  history
and character of the defendant, finds on the record that such additional
consecutive  sentence  would  be unduly harsh and that not imposing such
sentence would be consistent with the public safety and would not depre-
cate the seriousness of the crime.  Notwithstanding any other  provision
of  law to the contrary, the aggregate of the five year consecutive term
imposed pursuant to this subdivision and the minimum term of the  [inde-
terminate]  sentence  imposed on the underlying [class B violent] felony
shall constitute the new aggregate minimum term of imprisonment,  and  a
person subject to such term shall be required to serve the entire aggre-
gate  minimum  term  and  shall not be eligible for release on parole or
conditional release during such term. This subdivision shall  not  apply
where the defendant's criminal liability for displaying [a loaded weapon
from  which  a shot, readily capable of producing death or other serious
injury may be discharged,] WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PISTOL, REVOLVER, RIFLE,
SHOTGUN, MACHINE GUN OR OTHER FIREARM in furtherance of  the  commission
of crime is based on the conduct of another pursuant to section 20.00 of
[the penal law] THIS CHAPTER.
