A 575 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts correction officers of any penal correctional institution from training requirements for security guards

This bill (A 575) exempts state correction officers with peace officer status at penal correctional facilities from mandatory security guard training requirements. It amends Section 89-n of the General Business Law to explicitly include these officers in the exemption, removing a separate training obligation they previously faced. The change directly affects correction officers working in state prisons and similar facilities who already hold peace officer powers under existing law. The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
