S 1903 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Grants peace officer status to animal control officers of the county of Schuyler

This bill grants Schuyler County animal control officers official "peace officer" status under New York law, allowing them to perform specific law enforcement duties related to animal control. It directly affects Schuyler County's animal control officers by expanding their legal authority, though it explicitly states they cannot carry firearms without a separate license under penal law. The bill defines "animal control officer" using the existing public health law definition and clarifies that this status does not override firearm licensing requirements. This change is limited to Schuyler County and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
