N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 410.10: Specification of conditions of the sentence

§ 410.10 Specification of conditions of the sentence.

1. When the court pronounces a sentence of probation or of conditional

discharge it must specify as part of the sentence the conditions to be

complied with. Where the sentence is one of probation, the defendant

must be given a written copy of the conditions at the time sentence is

imposed. In any case where the defendant is given a written copy of the

conditions, a copy thereof must be filed with and become part of the

record of the case, and it is not necessary to specify the conditions

orally.

2. Commission of an additional offense, other than a traffic

infraction, after imposition of a sentence of probation or of

conditional discharge, and prior to expiration or termination of the

period of the sentence, constitutes a ground for revocation of such

sentence irrespective of whether such fact is specified as a condition

of the sentence.

3. When the court pronounces a sentence of probation or conditional

discharge for a specified crime defined in paragraph (e) of subdivision

one of section six hundred thirty-two-a of the executive law, in

addition to specifying the conditions of the sentence, the court shall

provide written notice to such defendant concerning any requirement to

report to the office of victim services funds of a convicted person as

defined in section six hundred thirty-two-a of the executive law, the

procedures for such reporting and any potential penalty for a failure to

comply.

4. When the court pronounces a sentence of probation or conditional

discharge, the court shall provide that the performance of bona fide

work for an employer, including travel time to and from bona fide work,

regardless if such work or related travel time is performed during

curfew times set by conditions of probation, parole, presumptive

release, conditional release, release to post-release supervision or any

other type of supervised release, shall not be considered a violation of

such sentence of probation or conditional discharge. For purposes of

this section, bona fide work is work performed as an employee for an

employer, as defined in section two of the labor law.
