S 5472 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Grants Federal Bureau of Investigation police certain peace officer powers

This bill amends New York State law to explicitly grant Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agents and FBI police officers certain peace officer powers within the state. It directly affects FBI personnel working in New York by formally recognizing their authority under state criminal procedure law. The key provision adds FBI agents to the existing list of peace officers in Section 2.15 of the criminal procedure law, allowing them to exercise specific powers like making arrests and serving warrants under state jurisdiction. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
