Establishes the crimes of reckless endangerment of an emergency service person in the first and second degrees

Summary

The bill adds three new sections to New York's penal law that define "emergency service person" and create a second‑degree reckless endangerment offense for building violations that injure such responders, and a first‑degree offense for cases that cause death or involve repeat offenders. Violations are classified as class E and class D felonies respectively. The law would take effect on November 1 after it becomes law.
