S 4891 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill exempts correction officers working in state penal facilities (who already have peace officer status under criminal procedure law) from separate security guard training requirements. It amends New York's General Business Law to explicitly exclude these officers from the training rules that apply to other security guards. The change directly affects correction officers in state prisons and correctional institutions who currently hold peace officer powers. This is a procedural adjustment to clarify existing roles, not a new policy.
