Expands unlawful surveillance in the first degree to include surveillance of a person with an active order of protection against them.
New York Assembly Bill A00413 amends the penal law to expand the definition of unlawful surveillance in the first degree. It now includes instances where the surveillance is of a person who has an active order of protection against them. This change aims to strengthen protections for individuals who have been granted orders of protection, making it a class D felony to surveil them unlawfully. The bill seeks to ensure that those with active orders of protection are not subjected to further harassment or intimidation.
