AI Summary

This bill amends the Correction Law to make several changes to sex offender registration and residency restrictions in New York. It extends the duration of registration for certain sex offenders classified as level one risk, requires courts to assign specific designations (sexual predator, sexually violent offender, or predicate sex offender) to certain offenders, and allows local jurisdictions to enact residency restrictions for certain high-risk sex offenders up to 1,000 feet from schools and up to 1/4 mile from victims' homes or workplaces. The bill also provides a process for some low-risk sex offenders to petition to be relieved of their registration requirements after 30 years.
