 Introduced by Sen. CANZONERI-FITZPATRICK -- read twice and ordered

 AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to making a murder as the
 result of a drive by shooting murder in the first degree

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

 1 Section 1. Subparagraph (xiii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of
 2 section 125.27 of the penal law is renumbered (xiv) and a new subpara-
 3 graph (xiii) is added to read as follows:
 4 (xiii) the victim was killed while the defendant was in the course of
 5 committing or attempting to commit a drive by shooting. Under this para-
 6 graph, a "drive by shooting" is defined as when a person, with the
 7 intent to cause the death of another person, discharges a firearm from a
 8 motor vehicle at another person outside of the motor vehicle. "Motor
 9 vehicle" shall have the same meaning as defined under section one
 10 hundred twenty-five of the vehicle and traffic law; or
 11 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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