 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 145.75 to

 3 § 145.75 Tampering with electronic monitoring equipment.
 4 1. For purposes of this section, "electronic monitoring equipment"
 5 means an instrument or device utilized as a condition of a securing
 6 order pursuant to article five hundred ten or five hundred thirty of the
 7 criminal procedure law, or in accordance with subdivision four of
 8 section 65.10 of this chapter.
 9 2. A person is guilty of tampering with electronic monitoring equip-
 10 ment when, having no right to do so nor any reasonable grounds to
 11 believe that such person has such right, such person tampers with elec-
 12 tronic monitoring equipment, or damages or otherwise alters such elec-
 13 tronic monitoring equipment in an effort to interfere with any signal,
 14 impulse or data being transmitted by such electronic monitoring equip-
 15 ment.

 21 (t) any felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm to an identifi-
 22 able person or property, or any charge of criminal possession of a
 23 firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law, where such
 24 charge arose from conduct occurring while the defendant was released on

 A. 2415 2

 1 [his or her] such defendant's own recognizance, released under condi-
 2 tions, or had yet to be arraigned after the issuance of a desk appear-
 3 ance ticket for a separate felony or class A misdemeanor involving harm
 4 to an identifiable person or property, or any charge of criminal
 5 possession of a firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law,
 6 provided, however, that the prosecutor must show reasonable cause to
 7 believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and any underly-
 8 ing crime. For the purposes of this [subparagraph] paragraph, any of the
 9 underlying crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this
 10 subdivision. For the purposes of this paragraph, "harm to an identifi-
 11 able person or property" shall include but not be limited to theft of or
 12 damage to property. However, based upon a review of the facts alleged in
 13 the accusatory instrument, if the court determines that such theft is
 14 negligible and does not appear to be in furtherance of other criminal
 15 activity, the principal shall be released on [his or her] such princi-
 16 pal's own recognizance or under appropriate non-monetary conditions;
 17 [or]
 18 (u) criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree as defined in
 19 subdivision three of section 265.02 of the penal law or criminal sale of
 20 a firearm to a minor as defined in section 265.16 of the penal law[.];
 21 or
 22 (v) tampering with electronic monitoring equipment as defined in
