        AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to larceny
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 2 of  section  155.05  of  the
     2  penal law is amended to read as follows:
     3    (d) By false promise.
     4    A  person obtains property by false promise when, pursuant to a scheme
     5  to defraud, he or she obtains property of another by means of  a  repre-
     6  sentation,  express  or  implied, that he, she or a third person will in
     7  the future engage in particular conduct, and when he  or  she  does  not
     8  intend  to  engage  in  such  conduct  or,  as the case may be, does not
     9  believe that the third person intends to engage in such conduct.
    10    In any prosecution for larceny based upon a false promise, the defend-
    11  ant's intention or belief that the promise would not  be  performed  may
    12  not  be established by or inferred from the fact alone that such promise
    13  was not performed. Such a finding may be based only upon evidence estab-
    14  lishing that the facts and circumstances of the case are wholly consist-
    15  ent with guilty intent or belief and wholly inconsistent  with  innocent
    16  intent  or  belief,  and excluding to a moral certainty every hypothesis
    17  except that of the defendant's intention  or  belief  that  the  promise
    18  would  not be performed; provided that partial performance of such prom-
    19  ise does not, by itself, preclude a reasonable  jury  from  making  such
    20  finding from all the facts and circumstances;
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
