BILL NUMBER: S6585 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the theft of a motor vehicle while a child is present therein PURPOSE : Increases the penalties for the theft of a motor vehicle when a child is present in the vehicle. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Amends sections 155.35, 155.42, and 160.15 of the Penal Law to increase the penalties for theft of a motor vehicle when a child is present in the vehicle. JUSTIFICATION : Cases of carjackings where young children were present in the stolen vehicles have been reported over the last several years. Thefts of this nature not only traumatize children but place them at great risk of being physically harmed either at the hands of the carjacker, by a stranger if the car is abandoned, or during a police chase. This bill would increase the penalties for theft of a motor vehicle when a child is present in the vehicle, providing an important deterrent to thieves looking to commit these heinous acts. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : 2013-14: S.1905 Passed Senate 2011-12: S.1543 Passed Senate 2010: S.6655 Referred to Codes FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : None
