This bill establishes a Sex Offender Public Awareness Program within the Correction Law of New York. The program will provide educational outreach services to schools, community groups, and clergy on issues related to sex offenders. The bill requires the Parole Board to promulgate rules and regulations for the program, including provisions for alternative funding sources, coordination of public and private efforts, and the development of long-term services. The bill also mandates the Board to prepare an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature on the program's activities and funding needs.
