Repeals section 260.15 of the penal law relating to affirmative defenses to the charge of endangering the welfare of a child

Bill S 7464 proposes to repeal section 260.15 of the penal law. This section currently outlines specific affirmative defenses available to individuals charged with endangering the welfare of a child. If enacted, the bill would eliminate these particular defenses, meaning a person accused of this crime could no longer use them in court to justify their actions or avoid conviction.
