In all, the Senate GOP unveiled a dozen bills, with the highlights of each listed below.
Among them, a bill making it a crime to publicly release private, identifying information of a police or peace officer with the intent to threaten or intimidate that officer, simply because of their status in law enforcement.
Another bill would classify crimes committed against police officers a hate crime, if that crime is committed simply because of they are a police officer. Included is legislation creating May 15 as Police Memorial Day in New York State, and the creation of a $500,000 benefit package for officers who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
