Creates new class E felony of fraudulent accosting in the first degree

This bill (S 7307) creates a new class E felony charge for "fraudulent accosting in the first degree" when someone targets individuals aged 65 or older in public places with confidence games, tricks, or swindles to steal money or property. It directly affects seniors aged 65+ who may be victims of public confidence scams. The key change upgrades penalties from a class A misdemeanor (for general cases) to a class E felony specifically when the victim is elderly, increasing the severity of punishment for this targeted crime. The bill amends New York's penal law to add this new felony provision and adjust related larceny penalties.
