Bill > S09781

This bill, known as the "Hoosock and Jensen law," amends the New York Penal Law to increase the designation of certain offenses related to unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle. Specifically, the bill designates unlawful fleeing a police officer in the third degree as a class E felony, unlawful fleeing in the second degree as a class D violent felony offense, and unlawful fleeing in the first degree as a class B violent felony offense. These changes aim to strengthen the penalties for individuals who engage in this type of behavior.
