Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, public safety and trust demand that State-owned
					 firearms be disposed of with the utmost care and concern for the safety and
					 welfare of the citizens of New York State;
WHEREAS, under current practice surplus or used State
					 firearms commonly are traded in as part payment for new firearms
					 purchases;
WHEREAS, because this practice results in the return of
					 these weapons to the commercial gun market, it creates an unacceptable risk
					 that they may be possessed and used unlawfully;
WHEREAS, the small fiscal savings that result from this
					 practice are far outweighed by the need to ensure that firearms previously
					 owned by the State never be turned against the very citizens for whose
					 protection they had been acquired;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE E. PATAKI, Governor of the State
					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby order that:
1. State agencies shall not dispose of
				  unneeded, used or surplus firearms through trades in exchange for new State
				  firearms.
2. At least once each
				  year and as frequently as practicable, all such firearms shall be transferred
				  to the Division of State Police and shall be promptly destroyed or otherwise
				  rendered permanently inoperative.
3. The Superintendent of State Police shall
				  develop and implement policies and procedures consistent with law for the
				  receipt, handling and destruction of these weapons.
