 1 Section 1. Subdivision b of section 265.20 of the penal law, as

 3 376 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows:
 4 b. Section 265.01 of this article shall not apply to possession of
 5 that type of billy commonly known as a "police baton" which is twenty-
 6 four to twenty-six inches in length and no more than one and one-quarter
 7 inches in thickness by members of an auxiliary police force of a city
 8 with a population in excess of one million persons [or], the county of
 9 Suffolk or the county of Nassau when duly authorized by regulation or
 10 order issued by the police commissioner of such city or such county
 11 respectively. Such regulations shall require training in the use of the
 12 police baton including but not limited to the defensive use of the baton

 15 this section or any other provision of law, possession of such baton
 16 shall not be authorized when used intentionally to strike another person
 17 except in those situations when the use of deadly physical force is
 18 authorized by such article thirty-five.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 20 have become a law.
