AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to requiring
town attorneys to institute proceedings to collect fines, restitution
or reparation in towns contained within Nassau county
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 420.20 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by
2 chapter 290 of the laws of 1980, is amended to read as follows:
3 § 420.20 Collection of fines, restitution or reparation imposed upon
4 corporations.
5 Where a corporation is sentenced to pay a fine, restitution or repara-
6 tion, the fine, restitution or reparation must be paid at the time
7 sentence is imposed. If the fine, restitution or reparation is not so
8 paid, it may be collected in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
9 action, and if execution issued upon such judgment be returned unsatis-
10 fied an action may be brought in the name of the people of the state of
11 New York to procure a judgment sequestering the property of the corpo-
12 ration, as provided by the business corporation law. It is the duty of
13 the attorney general in all criminal proceedings prosecuted by him, and,
14 in all other proceedings, the county attorney for counties outside the
15 city of New York, or the town attorney for all proceedings prosecuted by
16 such town attorney for towns contained within Nassau county, and, in the
17 city of New York the corporation counsel of the city of New York, to
18 institute proceedings to collect such fine, restitution or reparation.
19 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
