Bill > S02365

This bill amends the New York Correction Law to require sex offenders to disclose additional information about their online presence during registration and when reporting changes. Specifically, the bill expands the existing registration requirements to include "authorized internet entities" alongside previously required information like internet accounts and internet identifiers. This means sex offenders must now provide details about any officially recognized online platforms or services they use, in addition to their existing registration information such as name, address, physical characteristics, and driver's license number. The bill also mandates that sex offenders report any changes to these internet-related details within ten calendar days, similar to how they must currently report address or educational status changes. A ten-dollar fee is still required when registering such changes, though failure to pay will not prevent the registration from being processed. The law will take effect 90 days after becoming official, with immediate authorization for preparing necessary implementing regulations.
