Reclassifies court officers and court clerks of the unified court system under the definition of police officer; repealer
This bill reclassifies uniformed court officers and court clerks in the first and second departments of New York's unified court system as "police officers" under the criminal procedure law. It adds specific definitions for these roles in the law and repeals two existing paragraphs (a and b of section 2.10) that previously defined them differently. The change directly affects court staff in those departments by altering their legal classification for purposes like law enforcement authority and eligibility for certain protections or benefits. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
