Reclassifies court officers and court clerks of the unified court system under the definition of police officer; repealer
This bill reclassifies uniformed court officers and specific court clerks (in the first and second departments of the unified court system) as "police officers" under New York's criminal procedure law. It adds these roles to the legal definition of "police officer" while repealing two existing paragraphs that previously defined court personnel differently. The change directly affects these court staff members by altering their legal classification, which could impact their authority, training requirements, and eligibility for certain law enforcement benefits or protections. The bill makes no new policy obligations but changes how these positions are categorized within state law.
