New York A06055 allows victims of assault to make statements at their workplace if the workplace was the crime scene and is a hospital, emergency.

New York A06055 amends the executive law to allow victims of assault to make their statements at their workplace if the workplace was the scene of the crime and is a hospital, emergency medical facility, nursing home, or residential health care facility. Law enforcement officers must inform the victim of this right when they believe the victim was assaulted. The bill specifies that the workplace must be defined as such under the public health law or the mental hygiene law.
