Includes aggravated harassment in the first degree under a specified offense
This bill adds "aggravated harassment in the first degree" (Section 240.31) to the list of "specified offenses" under New York's penal law. It directly affects individuals convicted of this specific harassment crime, as it now triggers legal consequences tied to "specified offenses" (like enhanced sentencing or mandatory provisions). The key change is formally including this harassment offense in the existing list of crimes that qualify as "specified offenses" for legal purposes.
