Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to authorizing municipalities to establish residency restrictions for sex offenders

AI Summary

This bill authorizes municipalities in New York to establish residency restrictions for registered sex offenders. The bill states that municipalities are better positioned than the state to determine what entities with vulnerable populations would require protection from registered sex offenders, and therefore should be able to enact local laws imposing residency restrictions on these individuals. The residency restrictions must be no less restrictive than the requirements set forth in existing state laws.
