Bill > H1526

This bill, concerning penalties for impersonating police officers and other officials, proposes to amend existing law by increasing the potential prison sentence for such offenses. Specifically, it changes the maximum penalty from "not more than one year" to "in state prison for not more than 2 years" for impersonating a police officer or certain other officials, as outlined in Section 33 of Chapter 268 of the official laws. This means that individuals convicted of impersonating an official could now face up to two years in state prison, a doubling of the previous maximum.
