S 2197 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Grants animal control officers in the town of Southampton in Suffolk county peace officer status

This bill grants animal control officers in Southampton, Suffolk County, official peace officer status under New York law. It allows these officers to perform duties like making arrests for certain violations, but explicitly states they cannot carry firearms without a separate license under the penal law. The change directly affects Southampton's animal control officers by expanding their legal authority while maintaining firearm restrictions. The bill amends the criminal procedure law to include this new status provision.
