Creates a new felony for criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree when a weapon is used or attempted to be used in another criminal act while in a subway station, train, or similar mass transit location, increasing penalties for such possession and use in those areas.
Such person commits the crime of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree as defined in subdivision one, two or four of section 265.01 of this article, when situated in a subway station, railroad station or terminal, or bus station or terminal, or on a subway train, railroad train, or bus operated by a mass transit provider, public or private, and such person uses or attempts to use such weapon in the commission of another criminal act in such subway station, railroad station or terminal, or bus station or terminal, or on such subway train, railroad train or bus;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subdivision to Penal Law 265.02 that elevates certain fourth-degree weapon possession offenses to third-degree felonies specifically when they occur in mass transit locations and involve use or attempted use in another crime, thereby imposing stricter penalties and greater restrictions on firearm (and other weapon) possession in those settings.
