AI Summary

This bill amends New York state law 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 does not count towards the statute of limitations for criminal or civil cases that could be brought against them. This applies to both new cases and cases where the statute of limitations has not yet expired.
