Includes certain activity in transit and transportation facilities with the crime of criminal trespass in the second degree
This bill amends New York's penal law to include entering or remaining unlawfully in transit facilities (like train stations) or transportation facilities (like bus terminals) as a second-degree criminal trespass offense. It directly affects individuals who enter these specific public facilities without authorization. The key provision adds a new subsection defining such unauthorized entry as a crime, expanding the existing trespass definition to cover these locations. The law applies to anyone knowingly entering these facilities without permission, with no exceptions mentioned in the bill text.
