BILL NUMBER:S5957 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to public lewdness in the first degree PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To create a new crime of Public Lewdness in the first degree in order to enhance penalties, from a class "B" misdemeanor to a class "A" misdemeanor, for persons, 19 years or older, who intentionally expose a private or intimate part in the presence of a child under the age of 16 years, or for persons who repeatedly commit Public Lewdness. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 creates a new penal law section 245.03 Public Lewdness in the first degree. This provides that it shall be a class "A" misdemeanor for a person, being 19 years or older, to intentionally expose their private or intimate parts in the presence of a child under the age of 16 years, or for persons who commit a lewd act and have been convicted of Public Lewdness within the preceding year.

In 2012 in the City of Albany, one individual was arrested on 5 Public Lewdness, Stalking and Criminal Trespass charges. This individual was sentenced to 9 months in Albany County Jail in February
