N.Y. General Business Law § 140: Wearing industry badges, or other insignia of identification by unauthorized persons

§ 140. Wearing industry badges, or other insignia of identification by

unauthorized persons. An employer of labor may adopt a badge, or other

insignia of identification, to be worn or displayed by the employees for

the purpose of identification while upon the premises of the employer

and may post a notice of the adoption of such badge, or insignia, near

the main entrance of such premises. Such employer may deposit with the

department of labor a replica of such badge or insignia, and such

department shall, if such badge or insignia be distinctive, issue to

such employer a certificate authorizing the use thereof for the purposes

of this section. Any person who, after the approval and adoption of such

badge, or insignia, without authority or permission of the employer

adopting the same, wilfully wears such badge or displays such insignia,

or any facsimile or any imitation thereof, or uses the same to obtain

admittance to or remain upon the premises of the employer, is guilty of

a misdemeanor.
