Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to granting peace officer status to security officers employed by St. Joseph's Health Hospital, North Medical Center and Northeast Medical Center
AI Summary
This bill amends the criminal procedure law to grant peace officer status to security officers employed by St. Joseph's Health Hospital, North Medical Center, and Northeast Medical Center. This means these security officers will have certain law enforcement powers, specifically when they are performing their duties on the hospital grounds or any property owned or controlled by the hospitals or their subsidiaries, and also on adjacent public streets or sidewalks. Their powers will include detaining individuals suspected of committing an offense while awaiting law enforcement, and they can also assist in transporting arrested individuals if local law enforcement is unavailable. However, this designation does not authorize them to carry firearms unless they have the proper license.
