BILL NUMBER:S2598 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to custodial interference and repealing certain provisions of such law relating thereto PURPOSE: With increasing recognition of the seriousness of parental abduction, this bill is designed to overcome some of the significant obstacles to the recovery and return of missing children. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends subdivision 1 of section 135.45 of the Penal Law, custodial interference in the second degree, by removing the requirement to show that the abductor intended to hold the child permanently or for a protracted period, therefore making the focus of the statute the actual "taking" or "enticing" of the child. Section 1 also amends subdivision 2 of section 135.45 of the Penal Law to define custodial interference in the second degree as the taking or enticing of a child, in the absence of a court order determining the rights of custody or visitation, with intent to deny access, custody or visitation rights of another to that child or for the purpose of evading the courts of this State.
