What A 4215 does, verified January 8, 2026

The bill aims to amend the penal law to ensure that sentences for sexual offenders on probation are consecutive. If a person's probation is revoked, the court must sentence them to either imprisonment or a combination of imprisonment and probation. However, for certain offenses, such as those in article one hundred thirty, the sentence will run consecutively to any other term of imprisonment imposed for another such offense. This change will take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date the bill becomes a law.
