A 1319 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Includes assault of a vehicle license examiner to assault in the second degree

This bill amends New York's penal law to classify assaulting a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employee while they're performing their official duties as second-degree assault. It specifically adds this scenario to the existing definition of second-degree assault, making it a more serious criminal charge. The change directly affects individuals who physically harm DMV examiners during work-related tasks, elevating the offense from a lesser charge to second-degree assault.
