Designates the animal control officer in the town of Sand Lake as a peace officer

This bill designates the animal control officer in Sand Lake, New York, as a peace officer for specific duties.

The officer cannot carry firearms without a separate license under state penal law. The change applies only to Sand Lake's animal control officer and affects how they enforce local animal regulations.
