New York Poised to Repeal 1907 Adultery Law
-
New York's 1907 law banning adultery heads to the governor after being approved by the state legislature.
-
The current law dictates that someone found guilty of adultery can face up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.
-
A bill to repeal the antiquated adultery law passed the state Senate 57-4 and the Assembly last month.
-
The governor is expected to sign the measure striking the adultery ban from the books.
