 Introduced by M. of A. GIGLIO -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to designating
 certain crimes relating to prostitution as qualifying offenses with
 regard to bail eligibility

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraphs (t) and (u) of subdivision 4 of section 510.10
 2 of the criminal procedure law, paragraph (t) as amended and paragraph
 3 (u) as added by section 2 of subpart B of part UU of chapter 56 of the
 4 laws of 2022, are amended and two new paragraphs (v) and (w) are added
 5 to read as follows:
 6 (t) any felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm to an identifi-
 7 able person or property, or any charge of criminal possession of a
 8 firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law, where such
 9 charge arose from conduct occurring while the defendant was released on
 10 [his or her] such defendant's own recognizance, released under condi-
 11 tions, or had yet to be arraigned after the issuance of a desk appear-
 12 ance ticket for a separate felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm
 13 to an identifiable person or property, or any charge of criminal
 14 possession of a firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law,
 15 provided, however, that the prosecutor must show reasonable cause to
 16 believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and any underly-
 17 ing crime. For the purposes of this subparagraph, any of the underlying
 18 crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this subdivision.
 19 For the purposes of this paragraph, "harm to an identifiable person or
 20 property" shall include but not be limited to theft of or damage to
 21 property. However, based upon a review of the facts alleged in the accu-
 22 satory instrument, if the court determines that such theft is negligible
 23 and does not appear to be in furtherance of other criminal activity, the

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