 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the creation of an
 animal cruelty and animal fighting database

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. Studies in psychology, sociology and
 2 criminology have demonstrated that violent offenders frequently have
 3 childhood and adolescent histories of serious and repeated animal cruel-
 4 ty. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has recognized this connection
 5 since the 1970s when its analysis of the lives of serial killers
 6 suggested that most had killed or tortured animals during their life.
 7 Other research has shown consistent patterns of animal cruelty among
 8 perpetrators of more common forms of violence, including child abuse,
 9 spousal abuse, and elder abuse, leading the American Psychiatric Associ-
 10 ation to consider animal cruelty as one of the diagnostic criteria of
 11 conduct disorder.
 12 § 2. Section 837-w of the executive law, as added by chapter 706 of
 13 the laws of 2022, is renumbered section 837-y, section 837-x of the
 14 executive law, as amended by chapter 101 of the laws of 2024, is renum-
 15 bered section 837-z and a new section 837-aa is added to read as
 16 follows:
 17 § 837-aa. Animal cruelty database. 1. The division shall establish
 18 and maintain a crime database of all convictions in New York state of
 19 animal cruelty, animal fighting, animal neglect, animal abandonment, and
 20 mistreatment of animals as set forth in article twenty-six of the agri-
 21 culture and markets law and the penal law where data of such crimes
 22 shall be collected and displayed in a manner that facilitates analysis

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 and the protection of animals. For the purpose of this section,
 2 convictions shall also include pleas to a charge other than animal
 3 cruelty, animal fighting, animal neglect, animal abandonment, and
 4 mistreatment of animals as set forth in article twenty-six of the agri-
 5 culture and markets law and the penal law in satisfaction of the animal
 6 cruelty, animal fighting, animal neglect, animal abandonment or other
 7 animal mistreatment charge or where the animal cruelty, animal fighting,
 8 animal neglect, animal abandonment or other animal mistreatment charge
 9 has not resulted in a dismissal on the merits.
 10 2. Such crime database shall include, but not be limited to, names and
 11 ages of persons eighteen years of age or older who have been convicted
 12 of animal cruelty, animal fighting, animal neglect, animal abandonment
 13 and other laws pertaining to the mistreatment of animals as set forth in
 14 article twenty-six of the agriculture and markets law and the
