BILL NUMBER:S4829 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to public lewdness PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Creates public lewdness in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The penal law is amended by adding a new section 245.03 JUSTIFICATION: Public lewdness involves intentionally exposing the private or intimate parts of one's body in a lewd manner in a public place or in a private place with the intent to be observed. Public lewdness offenses can lead to serious consequences and cause enduring trauma for those who find themselves victim to it. Offenders often aim their public lewdness at minors and at women, and law enforcement officials have indicated that perpetrators often have a long history of such acts and of other sex crimes. Therefore, it is important to appropriately punish and deter serial offenders with higher penalties for multiple offenses of public lewdness. Right now, under state law public lewdness is only a 3 misdemeanor, regardless of how often a person re-offends. It is important to raise this penalty to an A misdemeanor for multiple offenses. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None
