New York bill A01835 aims to prohibit the use of primates in entertainment acts.

New York bill A01835, known as the "primate protection act," seeks to amend the agriculture and markets law and the environmental conservation law. It prohibits the use of primates in any type of entertainment act and prevents the Department of Environmental Conservation from issuing any license or permit that would authorize such use. The bill defines "primate" and "entertainment act," and exempts accredited zoos and wildlife sanctuaries from its provisions. Violators may face civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation.
