AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend New York state laws to provide that the period of immunity from prosecution for a criminal or civil action that a defendant is entitled to by virtue of holding the office of president of the United States shall not apply to the calculation of the time limitation applicable to the commencement of such actions. In other words, the time a president spends in office would not count towards the statute of limitations for bringing criminal or civil cases against them. The bill would apply retroactively to all pending criminal cases and to all civil cases commenced before, on, or after the effective date.
