Bill > S04086

This bill authorizes municipalities in New York to establish residency restrictions for sex offenders who are required to register under the state's correction law. The bill allows municipalities to enact local laws imposing residency restrictions on registered sex offenders, provided that such restrictions are no less restrictive than the requirements set forth in state law. The purpose is to allow municipalities, which are better positioned to understand local conditions and identify entities with vulnerable populations, to make determinations about appropriate residency restrictions for registered sex offenders within their respective jurisdictions.
