Bill > S03322

This bill removes a key restriction on peace officers appointed by The Sea Gate Association, specifically eliminating language that previously limited their ability to carry, possess, repair, or dispose of firearms unless they obtained an appropriate license under section 400.00 of the penal law. The Sea Gate Association, which appears to be a specific organization with legal authority to appoint peace officers, was originally granted this power by chapter 391 of the laws of 1940. By removing the firearm licensing qualification, the bill effectively expands the potential operational capabilities of peace officers appointed by this association. The bill would amend subdivision 46 of section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law, making these peace officers subject to fewer regulatory constraints regarding firearms. The legislation is straightforward and would take effect immediately upon enactment.
