Grants peace officer status to the reserve deputies of the Erie county sheriff's office

This bill grants reserve deputies in Erie County's sheriff's office official "peace officer" status under New York law. It directly affects these reserve deputies by expanding their legal authority to perform certain law enforcement duties. The key provision clarifies that this status does not automatically permit carrying or possessing firearms without the required separate license under penal law. The bill amends the criminal procedure law to include this specific provision for Erie County's reserve deputies.
