Adds a specific way for adults to be guilty of criminal solicitation in the third degree by providing a loaded firearm to a minor under 18 with intent for them to commit a gun crime under article 265, so more restrictions on providing firearms to minors for criminal use.
being over eighteen years of age, with the intent that another person under eighteen years of age engage in conduct that would constitute a crime under article two hundred sixty-five of this chapter, such person intentionally provides a loaded firearm to such other person in order to protect the actor from criminal prosecution.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill modifies Penal Law § 100.08 to create a new subdivision criminalizing the provision of a loaded firearm by an adult to a person under 18 with intent that the minor commit a gun crime (article 265), which is a firearms-related restriction on providing guns to minors for criminal purposes. It also deletes the prior broader solicitation language for felonies involving minors under 16, resulting in a mixed effect on the overall crime of solicitation but a clear new restriction in the firearms context.
