Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law and the penal law, in relation to enacting the "chronic criminal act"
AI Summary
This bill introduces the "Chronic Criminal Act," which establishes a new criminal offense called "aggravated criminal conduct" and makes several amendments to the criminal procedure law. The key provision creates a new felony offense where an individual commits a Class A misdemeanor after having three or more qualifying misdemeanor or felony convictions within the preceding ten years. The bill provides detailed criteria for counting prior convictions, including specific rules about sentencing, time calculations, and exclusions. Important considerations include: convictions must be for Class A misdemeanors or felonies, sentences must have been imposed before the current offense, periods of incarceration are excluded from the ten-year calculation, and pardoned offenses do not count. The bill also modifies existing legal procedures related to evidence admissibility in grand jury proceedings, specifically expanding the types of documents (such as forms, records, and electronic transmissions) that can be used as evidence. The legislation aims to create stricter accountability for repeat offenders by establishing a mechanism to prosecute individuals with multiple prior convictions as a Class E felony. The act is designed to take effect immediately upon passage.
