New York A00462 amends the penal law to redefine certain harassment offenses. It specifies that a person can be charged with harassment in the first degree if they have previously been convicted of the same crime within the preceding ten years, regardless of the victim. Similarly, it allows for a charge of harassment in the first degree if the person has been convicted of harassment in the second degree within the preceding five years, again regardless of the victim.
