Summary

The bill adds a new section to the executive law that obligates the state police, Department of Corrections and other state law‑enforcement agencies to adopt written tattoo policies. Those policies must permit tattoos on arms, legs, back or torso (with possible covering) and generally ban hand, face and neck tattoos, while allowing agencies to restrict any other designs. The rules apply to current officers, peace officers and job applicants in the covered state agencies.
