A 4655 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Designates officers and members of a fire investigation unit as peace officers in Franklin county

This bill grants peace officer status to Franklin County fire investigation unit members when performing their official duties related to fire investigations, extinguishment, and fire hazards. It authorizes them to make arrests and enforce fire-related laws within their specific scope of work. However, the bill explicitly states that this status does not permit carrying or possessing firearms without a separate license under state law. The provision applies only to fire investigation activities and does not alter other legal restrictions on firearm use.
