This bill expands the definition of second-degree assault under New York's penal law to specifically include attacks on school bus operators, monitors, or attendants. It directly affects school bus staff by ensuring that intentional physical harm caused to them during their work is classified as a more serious second-degree assault offense. The key provision amends existing law to add a new subsection stating that causing injury to these individuals with intent constitutes second-degree assault. This change creates a clearer legal standard for prosecuting assaults targeting school transportation personnel.
Authorizes the court to order sexual offenders on probation, where such probation has been revoked, to terms of imprisonment which run consecutively to sentences already being served.

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include "pistol converters" in the definition of a "rapid-fire modification device." It directly affects individuals who own, sell, or manufacture pistol converters, as these devices would now be prohibited under the same restrictions as bump stocks or binary triggers. The key mechanism is a simple definitional change in the law, adding "pistol converter" to a list of devices designed to accelerate the rate of fire on semi-automatic firearms. This creates a clear legal classification for pistol converters without introducing new enforcement procedures.

This bill (S 6306) expands New York's unlawful surveillance laws to criminalize new behaviors involving secret recording of intimate areas or private activities. It specifically prohibits using imaging devices to secretly view or record someone under clothing, in intimate situations, or within a dwelling where they reasonably expect privacy - without their knowledge or consent. The law adds these acts as "unlawful surveillance in the second degree," with severe penalties: repeated offenses or targeting minors can elevate it to a class D felony. The bill directly affects individuals who engage in non-consensual recording, strengthening protections for privacy in sensitive settings.
