A 2020 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Grants peace officer status to uniformed court officers in the town of Montgomery

This bill grants peace officer status specifically to uniformed court officers employed by the town of Montgomery's local court. It directly affects those officers by legally recognizing their authority to perform peace officer duties within Montgomery's town court. The key provision amends the criminal procedure law to establish this status, while explicitly stating these officers cannot carry firearms without a separate license under penal law. This is a narrow, localized change affecting only Montgomery's town court officers, with no broader policy implications.
