Adds 'possessed a loaded firearm during the commission of the offense' as a factor that prevents transfer of an adolescent offender case from adult criminal court to family court, so more adolescent offenders who used guns will face adult prosecution and penalties.
(iii) the defendant possessed a loaded firearm as defined in subdivi- sion fifteen of section 265.00 of the penal law during the commission of the offense; or
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Criminal Procedure Law §722.23 to add possession of a loaded firearm during an offense as a basis for denying removal of an adolescent offender case to family court. This keeps more gun-involved adolescent cases in adult criminal court, which is a restriction on the firearms axis per the topic definition (more restrictions on firearms via stricter handling of offenses involving them). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
