Maddy summaryThis bill grants peace officer status specifically to uniformed court officers employed by the town of Montgomery's local court. It directly affects those officers by legally recognizing their authority to perform peace officer duties within Montgomery's town court. The key provision amends the criminal procedure law to establish this status, while explicitly stating these officers cannot carry firearms without a separate license under penal law. This is a narrow, localized change affecting only Montgomery's town court officers, with no broader policy implications.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 10080) expands residency options for correction officers working at local correction facilities or sheriff's departments in New York. It allows officers to live in: (1) their facility’s county, (2) a contiguous New York county, (3) a county in a neighboring state, or (4) a county in a neighboring state within 45 miles (measured by nearest boundaries). This change removes current restrictions requiring officers to reside within the specific political subdivision where they work. The bill directly affects correction officers employed by local facilities, enabling them to live more flexibly near their workplace.
