Relates to providing that all court clerks of the unified court system shall be designated as peace officers
S 1149 designates all court clerks in New York's unified court system as peace officers under the criminal procedure law. This change directly affects court clerks statewide by granting them the legal authority and protections associated with peace officer status. The bill amends Section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law to include court clerks in the existing definition of peace officers, effective immediately upon enactment. This is a procedural designation change with no new policy requirements or funding impacts.
