S 7019 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to tampering with electronic monitoring equipment

This bill creates two new criminal offenses related to interfering with electronic monitoring devices (like ankle bracelets used for house arrest or probation). It makes it a class A misdemeanor to intentionally tamper with or damage such equipment without authorization to disrupt its signals (second degree), and a class E felony if the tampering occurs while committing a serious felony (first degree). The first-degree offense requires the sentence to run consecutively to the underlying felony. The law directly affects individuals under electronic monitoring who attempt to bypass or disable the tracking devices.
