Designates the animal control officer in the town of Sand Lake as a peace officer

This bill designates the animal control officer in Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, as a peace officer for specific duties. It allows the officer, at the town board's discretion, to enforce Article 26 of the Agriculture and Markets Law and issue appearance tickets under Article 7 of that law. The bill explicitly states this designation does not authorize the officer to carry or possess firearms without a valid license under the Penal Law. The change applies only to Sand Lake's animal control officer and modifies the Criminal Procedure Law to reflect this new authority.
