Bill > S02039

This bill amends the New York correction law to require sex offenders to report changes in their employment address to the division of criminal justice services within ten calendar days, similar to existing requirements for reporting changes in home address. The bill updates language to use gender-neutral terms like "their" instead of "his or her" and expands notification provisions for level two sex offenders, specifically allowing law enforcement agencies to disseminate information that now includes the offender's place of employment address. When an offender is designated as a moderate repeat offense risk (level two), law enforcement can share details such as their photograph, description, name, aliases, home and work addresses, conviction details, and other relevant information with entities that work with vulnerable populations. A ten-dollar fee is still required when registering changes, though failure to pay will not prevent the registration from being accepted. The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law, aiming to enhance tracking and community awareness of sex offender locations and employment.
