Bill > S02695

This bill creates a temporary New York State Commission on Sex Offender Supervision and Management. The commission, consisting of 13 members, will examine and evaluate the effectiveness of programs involving inmates who are required to register as sex offenders upon their release from state and local correctional facilities. The commission will investigate factors that impact the risk of recidivism and lead to the concentration of sex offenders in certain residential areas. It will analyze existing policies and practices and compare them to those of other states and the federal government. The commission is required to make a report of its findings, including any recommendations for legislative action, to the Governor, the Temporary President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the Assembly within one year of the bill's effective date.
