Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to designating the animal control officer in the town of Sand Lake as a peace officer
AI Summary
This bill amends the Criminal Procedure Law to designate the animal control officer in the town of Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, as a peace officer. This allows the officer, at the discretion of the town board, to be designated as a constable for the purpose of enforcing Article 26 of the Agriculture and Markets Law and issuing appearance tickets under Article 7 of that law. However, the bill explicitly states that this does not authorize the officer to carry, possess, repair, or dispose of a firearm unless they have the appropriate license under the Penal Law.
