Relates to assault in the second degree of an operator or crew of a passenger commuter ferry

S 901 expands New York's second-degree assault law to specifically include operators and crew of passenger commuter ferries. This means intentionally causing physical injury to these ferry staff members while they are performing work duties would now qualify as second-degree assault. The bill amends the penal code to add ferry workers to a broader list of protected transit and public service personnel already covered under this law. It directly affects ferry operators and crew by strengthening legal protections against workplace violence during their assigned duties.
