BILL NUMBER: S6343
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to theft
of services from barbershops, salons and beauty shops
PURPOSE :
To provide protection and allow for criminal action against those who
steal barbershop and salon services.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 165.15 of the Penal Law is amended to provide barbershop and
salon service providers protection against those who steal their
services. Currently, neither the District Attorneys offices nor the
police are able to bring theft of services criminal charges on behalf
of this group of merchants.
JUSTIFICATION :
In the economic downturn it has become harder for small service
businesses to make ends meet or turn a profit. Hair salons and
barbershops have come under significant financial stress with
customers obtaining the service then walking out of the shop without
paying. When reported to police officers shop owners are met with the
reply that there is no criminal action or proceeding which can take
