A 2776 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Establishes the crimes of reckless endangerment of an emergency service person in the first and second degrees

This bill creates two new felony crimes for actions that endanger firefighters, police officers, and other emergency workers during building fires or evacuations. It specifically targets individuals who alter or partition buildings without permits in ways that block escape routes, resulting in injury or death to these service members. The offense is charged as a class E felony if it causes injury, and as a more serious class D felony if it causes death or if the person has a prior conviction for the same crime.
