Bill > S06740

This bill amends the New York Penal Law to include falsely reporting incidents in an attempt to bring about the dispatch of a large number of police officers to a particular address or location as a felony offense under the crime of falsely reporting an incident in the second degree. The bill expands the definition of this crime to cover situations where individuals report or warn about an alleged occurrence or impending occurrence that did not in fact exist, with the intent of prompting a large police response to a specific location.
