AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to including public officers or employees of the federal government within the definition of public servant

AI Summary

This bill amends New York's penal law to broaden the definition of "public servant," which refers to individuals who hold public office or are employed by a government entity. Specifically, it expands this definition to explicitly include public officers or employees of the federal government, as well as any governmental instrumentality of the United States that has jurisdiction within New York State, ensuring that these federal officials are treated the same as state and local officials under the law for purposes of criminal offenses.
