 BILL NUMBER:  S1760

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the penal law, in relation to
assault in the second degree upon a supervisory member of a transit
system

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To include supervisory personnel employed by a transit agency,
authority, or company whose operation is authorized by New York State
or any of its political subdivision in the existing 2nd degree assault
provisions found in Penal Law section 120.05(11).

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :


Section one of this bill amends subdivision 11 of section 120.05 of
the Penal law, to add to the offense of assault in the 2nd degree,
intentionally causing physical injury to the supervisory personnel
employed by a transit agency, authority, or company whose operation is
authorized by New York State or any of its political subdivision.


Section two of this bill provides that this act shall take effect on
the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.

 EXISTING LAW :

Currently, Penal Law section 120.05(11) does not specifically include
Supervisory personnel employed by a transit agency.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Supervisory personnel employed by a transit agency work with, and
among the public to help ensure that trains and busses run on schedule
and quite often, supervisors are on location and interact with members
of the public when an extraordinary event occurs.  Unfortunately,
these employees are easy targets for those who seek to intentionally
harm others. This bill would help protect these supervisory employees
by providing as a deterrent to those who seek to harm them.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2016: S.7866 - Referred to Codes

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have
become a law.
