What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Penal Law to set a minimum sentence for two groups of offenses: throwing stones with intent to cause grievous injury or disability to a person (section 329), and throwing stones at a moving vehicle (section 332A). In both cases, the sentence may not be lower than one fifth of the maximum sentence set for the offense, unless the court finds special reasons to be recorded. This bill follows a significant rise in stone-throwing in various parts of the country.
