24 a citizen of the United States, between the ages of twenty-one and twen-
25 ty-nine years except that in the superintendent's discretion, the maxi-
26 mum age may be extended to thirty-five years. The superintendent may

28 employed by the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation as
29 a police officer, as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal procedure
30 law, who is appointed to the New York state police as a result of the
31 New York state police assuming the law enforcement responsibilities of

33 general or special law to the contrary the time spent on military duty,
34 not exceeding a total of [six] seven years, shall be subtracted from the
35 age of any applicant who has passed his or her twenty-ninth birthday,

39 assistant counsel, and assistant deputy superintendent for employee
40 relations nor to any person appointed to the bureau of criminal investi-

47 program at the state police academy, shall include such time spent
48 attending the basic school and terminate one year after successful
49 completion thereof. All other sworn members shall be subject to a proba-
50 tionary period of one year from the date of appointment. Following
51 satisfactory completion of the probationary period the member shall be a
52 permanent appointee. Voluntary resignation or withdrawal from the New
53 York state police during such appointment shall be submitted to the
S. 7505 19 A. 9505
1 superintendent for approval. Reasonable time shall be required to
2 account for all equipment issued or for debts or obligations to the
3 state to be satisfied. Resignation or withdrawal from the division

7 central repository of information regarding all guns seized, forfeited,
8 found or otherwise coming into the possession of any state or local law
9 enforcement agency which are believed to have been used in the commis-
10 sion of a crime. The superintendent of the division of state police
11 shall adopt and promulgate regulations prescribing reporting procedures
12 for such state or local law enforcement agencies, including the form for
13 reporting such information. In addition to any other information which
14 the superintendent of the division of state police may require, the form

16 the gun, if available and (b) a brief description of the circumstances
17 under which the gun came into the possession of the law enforcement
18 agency, including the crime which was or may have been committed with
19 the gun. Whenever a state or local law enforcement agency seizes or
20 recovers a gun that was unlawfully possessed, recovered from a crime
21 scene, or is reasonably believed to have been used in or associated with
22 the commission of a crime, or is otherwise recovered as an abandoned or
23 discarded gun, the agency shall report such seized or recovered gun to
24 the criminal gun clearinghouse as soon as practicable, but in no case
25 more than twenty-four hours after the agency has taken possession of
26 such gun. Every report made to the criminal gun clearinghouse will
27 result in the prompt submission of a request to the national tracing
28 center of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives to
29 trace the movement of the subject gun and such federal agency will be
30 requested to provide the results of such a trace to the superintendent
31 of the division of state police and to the law enforcement agency that

34 gates the commission of a crime in this state and a specific gun is
35 known to have been used in such crime, such agency shall submit a
36 request to the national tracing center of the United States Department
37 of Treasury, bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms to trace the move-
38 ment of such gun and such federal agency shall be requested to provide
39 the superintendent of the division of state police and the local law
40 enforcement agency with the results of such a trace. This subdivision
41 shall not apply where the source of a gun is already known to a local
42 law enforcement agency.] All state and local law enforcement agencies
43 shall participate in the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and
44 explosives collective data sharing program for the purpose of sharing
45 gun trace reports among all law enforcement agencies in the state on a
46 reciprocal basis.
47 6. (a) Whenever a state or local law enforcement agency seizes or
48 recovers a gun that was unlawfully possessed, recovered from the scene
49 of a crime, or is reasonably believed to have been used or associated
50 with the commission of a crime, or is recovered by the agency as an
51 abandoned or discarded gun, the agency shall arrange for every such gun
52 that is determined to be suitable for test-firing and of a type that is
53 eligible for national integrated ballistic information network data
54 entry and correlation to be test-fired as soon as practicable, and the
55 results of that test-firing shall be submitted forthwith to the national
S. 7505 31 A. 9505
1 integrated ballistic information network to determine whether the gun is
2 associated or related to a crime, criminal event, or any individual
3 associated or related to a crime or criminal event or reasonably
4 believed to be associated or related to a crime or criminal event.
5 (b) Whenever a state or local law enforcement agency recovers any
6 ammunition cartridge case that is of a type that is eligible for
7 national integrated ballistic information network data entry and corre-
8 lation at a crime scene, or has reason to believe that such recovered
9 ammunition cartridge case is related to or associated with the commis-
10 sion of a crime or the unlawful discharge of a gun, the agency shall, as
11 soon as practicable, arrange for the ballistics information to be
12 submitted to the national integrated ballistic information network.
13 7. Whenever a state or local law enforcement agency seizes or recovers
14 any gun, the agency shall promptly enter the make, model, caliber, and
15 serial number of the gun into the national crime information center
16 (NCIC) system to determine whether the gun was reported stolen.
17 8. The superintendent may adopt rules and regulations to effectuate
18 the provisions of this section.

20 it shall have become a law.

46 § 2. The opening paragraph of section 485.00 of the penal law, as
47 amended by chapter 8 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
48 The legislature finds and determines as follows: criminal acts involv-
49 ing violence, intimidation and destruction of property based upon bias
50 and prejudice have become more prevalent in New York state in recent
51 years. The intolerable truth is that in these crimes, commonly and
52 justly referred to as "hate crimes", victims are intentionally selected,
S. 7505 33 A. 9505
1 in whole or in part, because of their race, color, national origin,
2 ancestry, gender, gender identity or expression, religion, religious
3 practice, age, disability or sexual orientation. Hate crimes do more
4 than threaten the safety and welfare of all citizens. They inflict on
5 victims incalculable physical and emotional damage and tear at the very
6 fabric of free society. Crimes motivated by invidious hatred toward
7 particular groups not only harm individual victims but send a powerful
8 message of intolerance and discrimination to all members of the group to
9 which the victim belongs. Hate crimes can and do intimidate and disrupt
10 entire communities and vitiate the civility that is essential to healthy
11 democratic processes. In a democratic society, citizens cannot be
12 required to approve of the beliefs and practices of others, but must
13 never commit criminal acts on account of them. [Current law] However,
14 these criminal acts do occur and are occurring more and more frequently.
15 Quite often, these crimes of hate are also acts of terror. The recent
16 attacks in Monsey, New York as well as the shootings in El Paso, Texas;
17 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Sutherland Springs, Texas; Orlando, Florida;
18 and Charleston, South Carolina illustrate that mass killings are often
19 apolitical, motivated by the hatred of a specific group coupled with a
20 desire to inflict mass casualties. The current law emphasizes the poli-
21 tical motivation of an act over its catastrophic effect and does not
22 adequately recognize the harm to public order and individual safety that
23 hate crimes cause. Therefore, our laws must be strengthened to provide
24 clear recognition of the gravity of hate crimes and the compelling
25 importance of preventing their recurrence.
26 § 3. Subdivision 3 of section 485.05 of the penal law, as amended by
27 section 9 of part NN of chapter 55 of the laws of 2018, is amended to

31 up to the time of termination of the contract for work performed by the

41 authorities law, as amended by section 38 of part TTT of chapter 59 of
42 the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
43 (c) Subject to the provisions of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two
44 thousand, the dormitory authority shall not issue any bonds for state
45 university educational facilities purposes if the principal amount of
46 bonds to be issued when added to the aggregate principal amount of bonds
47 issued by the dormitory authority on and after July first, nineteen
48 hundred eighty-eight for state university educational facilities will
49 exceed [thirteen billion eight hundred forty-one million eight hundred
50 sixty-four thousand] fourteen billion seven hundred forty-one million
51 eight hundred sixty-four thousand dollars [$13,841,864,000]
52 $14,741,864,000; provided, however, that bonds issued or to be issued
53 shall be excluded from such limitation if: (1) such bonds are issued to
54 refund state university construction bonds and state university
55 construction notes previously issued by the housing finance agency; or
56 (2) such bonds are issued to refund bonds of the authority or other
S. 7505 96 A. 9505
1 obligations issued for state university educational facilities purposes
2 and the present value of the aggregate debt service on the refunding
3 bonds does not exceed the present value of the aggregate debt service on
4 the bonds refunded thereby; provided, further that upon certification by
5 the director of the budget that the issuance of refunding bonds or other
6 obligations issued between April first, nineteen hundred ninety-two and
7 March thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-three will generate long
8 term economic benefits to the state, as assessed on a present value
9 basis, such issuance will be deemed to have met the present value test
10 noted above. For purposes of this subdivision, the present value of the
11 aggregate debt service of the refunding bonds and the aggregate debt
12 service of the bonds refunded, shall be calculated by utilizing the true
13 interest cost of the refunding bonds, which shall be that rate arrived
14 at by doubling the semi-annual interest rate (compounded semi-annually)
15 necessary to discount the debt service payments on the refunding bonds
16 from the payment dates thereof to the date of issue of the refunding
17 bonds to the purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest
18 accrued thereon prior to the issuance thereof. The maturity of such
19 bonds, other than bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, shall not
20 exceed the weighted average economic life, as certified by the state
21 university construction fund, of the facilities in connection with which
22 the bonds are issued, and in any case not later than the earlier of
23 thirty years or the expiration of the term of any lease, sublease or
24 other agreement relating thereto; provided that no note, including
25 renewals thereof, shall mature later than five years after the date of
26 issuance of such note. The legislature reserves the right to amend or
27 repeal such limit, and the state of New York, the dormitory authority,
28 the state university of New York, and the state university construction
29 fund are prohibited from covenanting or making any other agreements with
30 or for the benefit of bondholders which might in any way affect such
31 right.

38 or to be substituted for or in lieu of other bonds in relation to city
39 university community college facilities pursuant to a resolution of the
40 dormitory authority adopted before July first, nineteen hundred eighty-

43 previously issued by the dormitory authority for city university commu-
44 nity college facilities, except to refund or to be substituted in lieu
45 of other bonds in relation to city university community college facili-

S. 7505 97 A. 9505
1 to be substituted for or in lieu of other bonds in relation to city

3 four million two hundred fifty-six thousand] nine billion two hundred
4 twenty-two million seven hundred thirty-two thousand dollars

50 taking into consideration any premium or discount and, in the case of
51 refunding bonds, the bona fide initial public offering price, not less
52 than [four nor more than fifteen days, Sundays excepted,] two business
53 days after the publication of a notice of [such] sale [has been
54 published] at least once in a definitive trade publication of the munic-
55 ipal bond industry published on each business day in the state of New
56 York which is generally available in electronic or physical form to
S. 7505 106 A. 9505
1 participants in the municipal bond industry, which notice shall state
2 the terms of the sale. The comptroller may not change the terms of the
3 sale unless notice of such change is sent via a definitive trade wire
4 service of the municipal bond industry which, in general, makes avail-
5 able information regarding activity and sales of municipal bonds and is
6 generally available to participants in the municipal bond industry, at
7 least one hour prior to the time of the sale as set forth in the
8 original notice of sale. In so changing the terms or conditions of a
9 sale the comptroller may send notice by such wire service that the sale
10 will be delayed by up to thirty days, provided that wire notice of the
11 new sale date will be given at least one business day prior to the new
12 time when bids will be accepted. In such event, no new notice of sale

21 rejection, the state comptroller is authorized to negotiate a private
22 sale or readvertise for bids in the form and manner above described as
23 many times as, in his or her judgment, may be necessary to effect a
24 satisfactory sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
25 paragraph, whenever in the judgment of the comptroller the interests of
26 the state will be served thereby, he or she may sell state bonds at
27 private sale at par, at par plus a premium, or at a discount. The comp-
28 troller shall promulgate regulations governing the terms and conditions
29 of any such private sales, which regulations shall include a provision
30 that he or she give notice to the governor, the temporary president of
31 the senate, and the speaker of the assembly, of his or her intention to
32 conduct a private sale of obligations pursuant to this section not less
33 than [five] two business days prior to such sale or the execution of any
34 binding agreement to effect such sale.

47 instruments evidencing an indebtedness of any corporation, association
