Bill > S04202

This bill amends the New York Penal Law to prohibit the manufacture, transport, or shipment of "undetectable knives" and to prohibit the possession of such knives. An "undetectable knife" is defined as any knife or other instrument that does not utilize materials detectable by a metal detector or magnetometer, and was commercially manufactured to be used as a weapon. The bill also adds "undetectable knife" to the list of prohibited weapons under the Penal Law, making its possession a criminal offense. This legislation aims to address the potential security risks posed by knives that are not easily detected by standard security measures.
