Relates to securing orders for certain firearms offenses

This bill, S 7419, amends the criminal procedure law concerning when courts can order an individual accused of certain felony firearm offenses to be held in custody. It expands the category of "criminal possession of a firearm or weapon" offenses that qualify for such orders, moving from only third-degree possession to any felony offense under Article 265 of the penal law. Concurrently, the bill removes "criminal sale of a firearm to a minor" from the specific list of offenses that allow for a court to remand a defendant to the sheriff's custody. These changes directly affect individuals charged with these felony offenses and the courts determining their pre-trial status.
