Exempts certain persons from the crime of criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location
This bill exempts retired judges from New York state courts from criminal charges related to possessing firearms in sensitive locations. It specifically includes former appellate, supreme, claims, county, surrogate, family, and city court judges who hold a valid license to carry a pistol or revolver. The change is intended to allow these retired officials to keep their licensed firearms without facing legal penalties in restricted areas. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
