BILL NUMBER: S6472

SPONSOR: COMRIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the penal law, in relation to assaulting or harassing
certain employees of a transit agency or authority

 
PURPOSE OF BILL:

This bill will increase the safety of MTA employees and the riding
public by adding a comprehensive list of job titles to existing penal
law standards with respect to the crimes of Assault in the 2ND Degree
and Aggravated Harassment in the 2ND Degree.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill expands the list of individuals/titles covered
by present statute dealing with Assault in the 2ND Degree to include all
relevant personnel.

Section two of the bill would add a new subdivision 3-a to Section 240

30 of the Penal Law to provide that a person is guilty of aggravated
harassment in the second degree when they subject various transit
employees, such as bus drivers, to physical contact, including spitting
on them. It would be a class A misdemeanor.

Section three of the bill would provide that the act takes effect 90
days after it becomes law.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Crimes committed against public transit personnel, be they cleaners, bus
drivers, customer service representatives motormen or so many other job
titles contimle to rise. Given this trend, as well as piecemeal legis-
lation that has passed over the years adding one job title at a time to
certain statues, a comprehensive approach that is equitable to all
victims, and clear and serious to perpetrators, is warranted.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Iteration.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
90 days after the date on which it shall have become law.
