Includes peace officers in certain offenses against public safety

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include "peace officers" (such as sheriffs, campus police, or other designated officers) in existing laws about fleeing police in a vehicle. It creates three levels of offenses: a class A misdemeanor for fleeing at excessive speeds (third degree), a class E felony if serious injury occurs (second degree), and a class D felony if death results (first degree). The law directly affects drivers who flee from peace officers and officers who may face enhanced penalties when fleeing occurs. It also updates vehicle law to clarify that peace officer vehicles qualify as authorized emergency vehicles. The changes take effect immediately upon enactment.
