Criminal Procedure (CPL) CHAPTER 11-A, PART 1, TITLE C, ARTICLE 20
§ 20.30 Geographical jurisdiction of offenses; effect of laws of other

jurisdictions upon this state's jurisdiction.

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 20.20, the courts of
this state do not have jurisdiction to convict a person of an alleged
offense partly committed within this state but consummated in another
jurisdiction, or an offense of criminal solicitation, conspiracy or
attempt in this state to commit a crime in another jurisdiction, or an
offense of criminal facilitation in this state of a felony committed in
another jurisdiction, unless the conduct constituting the consummated
offense or, as the case may be, the conduct constituting the crime
solicited, conspiratorially contemplated or facilitated, constitutes an
offense under the laws of such other jurisdiction as well as under the
laws of this state.

2. The courts of this state are not deprived of the jurisdiction
accorded them by section 20.20 to convict a person of an offense defined
by the laws of this state, partly committed in another jurisdiction but
consummated in this state, or an offense of attempt or conspiracy in
another jurisdiction to commit in this state a crime defined by the laws
of this state, by the circumstance that the conduct constituting the
consummated offense or, as the case may be, the crime attempted or
conspiratorially contemplated, does not constitute an offense under the
laws of such other jurisdiction.
