A 412 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to criminal impersonation in the first degree

This bill (A 412) amends New York's penal law to add two new scenarios to the definition of criminal impersonation in the first degree. It specifically targets individuals pretending to be utility company employees (e.g., for maintenance or billing) or delivery personnel (e.g., for food, packages, or beverages) while on another person's property. The law prohibits falsely claiming authority by wearing uniforms, badges, or using other insignia without permission from the actual company. This makes such impersonation a class E felony, directly affecting those who deceive others for access to private property or to commit crimes.
