BILL NUMBER:S3199 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to including machete within the definition of a deadly weapon SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 12 of section 10.00 of the penal law, as amended by chapter 257 of the laws of 2008, by adding "machete" to the definition of "deadly weapon". Section 2 of the bill sets forth an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Despite the obvious serious injury that can be caused by the use of a "machete", such weapons have not been included in the penal law's definition of "deadly weapon". This oversight is surprising given the common knowledge that machetes have often been used as weapons and are actually defined as such in Webster's dictionary - "Machete - a large heavy knife used for cutting sugarcane and underbrush and as a weapon". This legislation makes the necessary correction to the penal law so that perpetrators who use a machete as a weapon will be charged accordingly.
