BILL NUMBER:S5296

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the penal law, in relation to the unlawful dissemination of a
security body scan

PURPOSE:
This legislation will make it a misdemeanor to unlawfully disseminate
security body scan images.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

define a person guilty of unlawful dissemination of a body scan, when
or she, without the permission of the person of whom the scan was

purposes, or any image or images derived from such scan to any person
who has not been authorized to receive the scan pursuant to state or
federal statues or regulates.

Section One - classifies unlawful dissemination of a security body
scan a class A misdemeanor.

succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.

JUSTIFICATION:
While understanding the need to protect our passengers and airports,
this legislation secures the privacy of men, women and children who
travel through the airports in the State of New York.
Unfortunately, there will be employees who abuse the system and
people's trust that they will perform their jobs in a professional,
ethical fashion.

This bill will provide the State of New York with the ability to
criminally prosecute those employees who take advantage of their
position of authority.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This first of November next succeeding the date on
which it shall have become law.
