A 4322 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Includes the display of a swastika in public view in aggravated harassment in the first degree

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include displaying a swastika in public view as a form of aggravated harassment in the first degree. It specifically targets methods like billboards, aerial displays, or similar public methods for uninvited viewing, making such acts punishable under the same legal framework as other severe harassment. The law directly affects individuals who display swastikas publicly in these specified ways, treating it as a more serious criminal offense. This change clarifies and expands existing harassment definitions to address hate symbols in public spaces.
