Includes public officers or employees of the federal government within the definition of public servant
This bill amends New York's Penal Law to explicitly include federal government employees and officers within the legal definition of "public servant." It directly affects federal employees working in New York by bringing them under the same criminal law provisions that apply to state and local public officials. The key change is a definitional update - expanding the scope of "public servant" to cover federal roles without creating new penalties or requirements. The amendment applies immediately to all relevant criminal statutes.
