AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to include falsely reporting an incident in the third, second, and first degrees as specified offenses for the purposes of hate crimes. The bill adds three new sections - 240.50 (falsely reporting an incident in the third degree), 240.55 (falsely reporting an incident in the second degree), and 240.60 (falsely reporting an incident in the first degree) - to the list of "specified offenses" that can be considered hate crimes.
