Bill > S02252

This bill modernizes the legal description of peace officers employed by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA), a public benefit corporation that operates bridges and tunnels in the New York City metropolitan area. Specifically, the bill updates the language in the criminal procedure law, replacing a detailed listing of job titles (such as "bridge and tunnel officers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains, inspectors, deputy chiefs, assistant chiefs, and chiefs") with the more generalized term "sworn officers". This change streamlines the legal designation of TBTA law enforcement personnel, making the statutory language more concise and flexible. The bill appears to be a technical amendment that does not substantively change the legal powers or status of TBTA officers, but rather updates the terminology used to describe them in the law. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
