New York S03090 amends the penal law to redefine aggravated harassment by an incarcerated individual, removing the requirement of causing contact.

New York S03090 amends the penal law to redefine aggravated harassment of an employee by an incarcerated individual. The bill eliminates the requirement that the incarcerated individual must cause or attempt to cause contact with blood, seminal fluid, urine, feces, saliva, or toilet bowl contents by throwing, tossing, or expelling such fluids. Instead, it focuses on the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, or alarm an employee. This change simplifies the criteria for what constitutes aggravated harassment, focusing on the intent behind the action rather than the specific method of contact.
