S 7051 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Includes the display of a swastika in public view in aggravated harassment in the first degree

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include displaying a swastika in public view as a form of aggravated harassment in the first degree. It specifically targets acts like placing swastikas on billboards, aerial displays, or similar methods visible to uninvited audiences. The change expands the existing definition of aggravated harassment to cover this specific act, making it a criminal offense under the law. The bill directly affects individuals who publicly display swastikas in ways that could intimidate or harass others.
