This bill proposes to remove the ten-year time limit for prosecuting the crime of persistent sexual abuse in New York State. Currently, individuals can only be charged with this offense if they commit multiple qualifying sexual crimes within a ten-year period, but this legislation would eliminate that restriction. The change would allow prosecutors to pursue charges against repeat offenders regardless of how much time has passed since their previous convictions, provided the new offenses are separate criminal incidents. The bill directly affects the state's penal law and would impact how sexual abuse cases are investigated and prosecuted. If passed, it would take effect on November 1st of the following year.
Requires law enforcement officers to conduct a lethality assessment as part of the standardized domestic incident report form when responding to incidents of domestic violence.
Requires screening incarcerated individuals for eligibility for public benefits prior to release and assistance in applying for such programs; requires officials to seek waivers from the USDA for eligibility for such program.
