S 3619 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to burglary on a premises used as a farm operation

S 3619 amends New York's burglary law to specifically include "real property used as a farm operation" as a scenario that elevates burglary to second degree. This means entering or remaining unlawfully on a farm property with criminal intent - such as stealing equipment or livestock - would now automatically be classified as second-degree burglary, a class C felony. The bill directly affects farm owners and operators by extending the same legal protections against burglary that apply to residential dwellings, and it affects individuals committing such burglaries by increasing the potential penalties. The change clarifies that farm operations, as defined under agriculture law, are explicitly protected under this burglary statute.
