New York Maximum Statutory Fine for a Felony Under N.Y. Penal Law § 80.00

Under New York law, the maximum statutory fine for a felony is $5,000, as set by N.Y. Penal Law § 80.00. This statute governs the maximum penalty amount a court may impose upon conviction for a felony offense, unless a different fine is specifically authorized for the particular crime. The law establishes a general cap, meaning the court cannot order a fine exceeding this ceiling for a standard felony. However, the statute also provides exceptions and factors that may adjust the applicable fine in certain cases. The official legislative text details these provisions.
