          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Section 420.20 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by
     2  chapter 290 of the laws of 1980, is amended to read as follows:
     3  § 420.20 Collection of fines, restitution  or  reparation  imposed  upon
     4               corporations.
     5    Where a corporation is sentenced to pay a fine, restitution or repara-
     6  tion,  the  fine,  restitution  or  reparation  must be paid at the time
     7  sentence is imposed.  If the fine, restitution or reparation is  not  so
     8  paid,  it  may  be collected in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
     9  action, and if execution issued upon such judgment be returned  unsatis-
    10  fied  an action may be brought in the name of the people of the state of
    11  New York to procure a judgment sequestering the property of  the  corpo-
    12  ration,  as provided by the business corporation law.  It is the duty of
    13  the attorney general in all criminal proceedings prosecuted by him, and,
    14  in all other proceedings, the county attorney for counties  outside  the
    15  city of New York, or the town attorney for all proceedings prosecuted by
    16  such town attorney for towns contained within Nassau county, and, in the
    17  city  of  New  York  the corporation counsel of the city of New York, to
    18  institute proceedings to collect such fine, restitution or reparation.
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
