A01531 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1531B
 
SPONSOR: Richardson
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil rights law, in relation to reporting a none- mergency incident involving a member of a protected class   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To prevent the misuse of 911 and other organizations that deal with emergencies.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one establishes civil penalties for summoning a police officer or peace officer when there is no reason to believe a crime or offense, or imminent threat to person or property, is occurring. Section two establishes the effective date.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): The amended version makes a minor, technical change.   JUSTIFICATION: Recent years have shown a number of distressing, frivolous calls to 911 for selling water, cutting grass, or using the swimming pool. These callers' personal comfort with other people has been the basis for the majority of those calls, and not for any particular threat. Calling 911 for non-emergencies poses a bigger threat to society in the era of Trump. Oftentimes, officers reporting to a scene are deposited into a situation with limited information and if that information sounds crit- ical enough to law enforcement, they may respond with tactical force. It takes less than seven seconds for a situation with few details to esca- late. Furthermore, emergency services should be readily available for citizens in eminent danger. Having 911 call centers continuously dispatching Police, Fire or EMT services for non-emergencies leaves their resources short if an actual emergency is reported at the same time. This bill is not to discourage the intended use of 911, but to inhibit its blatant misuse.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2018: New bill   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

        AN ACT to amend the civil rights law, in relation to reporting  a  none-
          mergency incident involving a member of a protected class
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 79-n of the civil rights  law,  as
     2  added by chapter 227 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
     3    2.  Any person who intentionally selects a person or property for harm
     4  or causes damage to the property of another or causes physical injury or
     5  death to another or summons a police officer or  peace  officer  without
     6  reason  to  suspect  a  violation  of  the penal law, any other criminal
     7  conduct, or an imminent threat to a person or property, in whole  or  in
     8  substantial  part  because of a belief or perception regarding the race,
     9  color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious  practice,
    10  age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether
    11  the  belief or perception is correct, shall be liable, in a civil action
    12  or proceeding maintained by such individual or group of individuals, for
    13  injunctive relief, damages, or any other appropriate relief  in  law  or
    14  equity.  If  it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice
    15  that the respondent has, in fact, violated this section,  an  injunction
    16  may  be  issued  by such court or justice, enjoining and restraining any
    17  further violation, without requiring proof that any person has, in fact,
    18  been injured or damaged thereby. For the purposes of this subdivision, a
    19  person lacks reason to suspect a violation of the penal law,  any  other
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD04520-09-0

        A. 1531--B                          2
 
     1  criminal  conduct, or an imminent threat to a person or property where a
     2  reasonable person would not suspect such violation, conduct, or threat.
     3    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
