Grants peace officer status to certain park rangers and building security personnel but explicitly states that this does not authorize them to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm without a separate license, maintaining the existing firearm licensing requirement.
provided, however, that nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to authorize such officer to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued pursu- ant to section 400.00 of the penal law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill grants limited peace officer powers (issuing tickets and informations) to specific Erie County employees but includes an explicit disclaimer that does not expand or restrict firearm access, ownership, carrying, or licensing requirements; the only mention of firearms is to preserve the status quo on licensing under Penal Law 400.00.
