AI Explanation
Another punishment-comparison question, but with a different correct crime. Penal Law §170.10 makes forgery in the second degree a class D felony, and Penal Law §70.00(2)(d) allows a maximum term of seven years. Not to be confused with issuing a false certificate under §175.40, which is class E, or official misconduct under §195.00, which is class A misdemeanor.
