2021 New York Laws EXC - Executive Article 11 - Division of State Police 230 - Gun Trafficking Interdiction Program.

§  230.  Gun  trafficking  interdiction  program.  1.  There is hereby   created  within  the  division  of  criminal  justice  services  a   gun   trafficking  interdiction program to be administered by the commissioner   of the division of criminal justice  services  to  distribute  funds  in   accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  section  for the purpose of   interdicting guns and components of guns  illegally  entering  New  York   with  a  focus on those "supplier" states from which substantial numbers   of guns illegally enter this state.2. The superintendent of the division of state police, in  cooperation   with  the  United  States  department  of  treasury,  bureau of alcohol,   tobacco and firearms and district attorneys in  New  York  state,  shall   develop  and implement a strategy for the interdiction of guns illegally   entering New York from  supplier  states.  The  strategy  shall  include   identifying  and  prosecuting gun traffickers and suppliers of such guns   who may be violating federal, state or local laws, and cooperating  with   the United States department of treasury, bureau of alcohol, tobacco and   firearms  and  appropriate  prosecutorial  agencies  and law enforcement   agencies in supplier states in the investigation and enforcement of such   laws. District attorneys are  authorized  to  enter  into  collaborative   agreements  with  prosecutorial  and  other  governmental  agencies  and   entities in supplier states in an effort to stop the movement of illegal   guns into New York.3. The commissioner of the division of criminal justice services shall   award grant monies to district attorneys for programs which are designed   to interdict the flow of illegal guns across New York state borders.  In   order  to qualify for such grant monies, a district attorney must submit   an application to the commissioner of the division of  criminal  justice   services  in  accordance  with  guidelines prescribed by the division of   criminal justice services. The application shall identify a strategy and   implementation plan for preventing the entry of illegal guns across  New   York's  borders.  Funds  awarded under this section shall not be used to   supplant federal, state or local funds. No more than  fifty  percent  of   the  funds  available  pursuant  to  this section in any one fiscal year   shall be awarded for programs within a  single  city,  county,  town  or   village.4.  The superintendent of the division of state police shall establish   and maintain within the division  a  criminal  gun  clearinghouse  as  a   central  repository of information regarding all guns seized, forfeited,   found or otherwise coming into the possession of any state or local  law   enforcement  agency  which  are  believed  to  have  been  used  in  the   commission of a crime. The  superintendent  of  the  division  of  state   police  shall  adopt  and  promulgate  regulations prescribing reporting   procedures for such state or local law enforcement  agencies,  including   the  form  for  reporting  such  information.  In  addition to any other   information which the superintendent of the division of state police may   require,  the  form  shall  require  (a)  the  serial  number  or  other   identifying  information  on  the  gun,  if  available  and  (b) a brief   description of the circumstances under  which  the  gun  came  into  the   possession  of the law enforcement agency, including the crime which was   or may have been committed with the gun.5. In  any  case  where  a  state  or  local  law  enforcement  agency   investigates  the commission of a crime in this state and a specific gun   is known to have been used in such crime, such  agency  shall  submit  a   request  to  the national tracing center of the United States Department   of Treasury, bureau of  alcohol,  tobacco  and  firearms  to  trace  the   movement  of  such  gun  and  such  federal agency shall be requested to   provide the superintendent of the division of state police and the local   law  enforcement  agency  with  the  results  of  such  a  trace.   This    subdivision  shall  not apply where the source of a gun is already known   to a local law enforcement agency.
