New York S10144 prohibits naming state buildings after public officers while they hold office or after those convicted of a felony.

New York S10144, known as the "Prohibiting Elevation of Notorious Names (PENN) Act," amends the executive law to prohibit the naming of public facilities after public officers while they hold office or after those convicted of a felony. The state must remove the name from any facility named for such individuals immediately upon conviction. Facilities named before the law's effective date may retain the name unless the person becomes a public officer later.
