S932-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S932

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the penal law, in relation to establishing the crime of
terrorism recruitment, a class C felony

PURPOSE:
This bill establishes the crime of terrorism recruitment, a class C
felony.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
The penal law is amended by adding a new section 490.60 to create the
crime of terrorism recruitment.

A person is guilty of terrorism recruitment when, with intent that
another person engage in conduct constituting a crime, he or she
recruits, solicits, requests, commands, importunes or otherwise attempts
to cause a person to engage in terrorist conduct.

JUSTIFICATION:
Terrorist organizations and their membership are in a perpetual search
to recruit new members. Terrorists seek to entice the disenfranchised
and gain members to carry out criminal acts.

The active recruitment for terrorist acts is a growing trend which
requires an immediate response. As law enforcement actively seeks to
unearth these groups and defeat their heinous schemes, we have a
responsibility to hold accountable those who solicit or recruit
individuals or groups for terrorism. This bill seeks to effectively
deter terrorist recruitment and punish those who seek to employ others
for their criminal plans.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.6403 of 2006: Passed Senate; S.610 of 07/08 (Passed Senate);
S.592 of 2009/10 (Senate Veterans, Homeland Security & Military Affairs)

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first November next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law.
