Maddy summaryS 5576 creates a new criminal offense called "feticide," defined as intentionally causing the death of an unborn child at any stage of pregnancy through pregnancy termination. This act would be classified as a class A felony - the most serious criminal charge - unless the termination followed specific provisions in public health law. The bill directly affects individuals who intentionally end a pregnancy resulting in the unborn child's death, excluding cases permitted under existing public health law. It does not change abortion access but establishes a new felony for intentional killing of an unborn child.
Maddy summaryThis bill reclassifies resisting arrest as a class E felony (a serious criminal charge) instead of a misdemeanor. It directly affects individuals who resist arrest, as they will now face felony charges rather than minor penalties, and police officers, who must now make an arrest instead of issuing a court date (appearance ticket) for this offense. Key provisions include amending the penal law to upgrade the offense level and changing criminal procedure rules to eliminate appearance tickets for resisting arrest cases. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
