What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new section to the Penal Law regulating protection for security forces - soldiers, service employees, police officers and guard members - who commit a criminal act to repel a person breaking in or entering when immediately necessary. The protection is limited to circumstances in which the repelling was reasonable and the security force member did not bring about the break-in or entry by their conduct. The proposal includes definitions of "member of the security forces" that include various categories of the security forces, the public service and the civilian service.
