Relates to sentencing for the crime of aggravated cruelty to animals

This bill removes the two-year maximum sentence for aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony offense under current law. It amends New York's agriculture and markets law to eliminate the cap on imprisonment for this specific crime, meaning judges can now impose longer sentences. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of aggravated cruelty to animals by changing the sentencing guidelines. The legislation, nicknamed "Tucker's law," takes effect 180 days after enactment.
