S 2196 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Grants fire marshals in the town of Shelter Island in Suffolk county peace officer status

This bill grants fire marshals employed by the Town of Shelter Island in Suffolk County the status of peace officers under New York State law. It directly affects Shelter Island's fire marshals, giving them specific legal authority to perform peace officer duties within their jurisdiction. The key provision adds them to the list of peace officers under the Criminal Procedure Law, though it explicitly states they still require separate firearm licenses under Penal Law § 400.00 to carry or possess firearms. The bill makes no changes to existing fire marshal responsibilities but formally expands their legal authority.
