Bill > A03179

This bill requires nonresident sex offenders who are registered in another jurisdiction and temporarily staying in New York to register with the state's division of criminal justice services within ten calendar days of arrival, providing details about their temporary residence and length of stay. The bill also mandates that sex offenders (specifically those classified as level two or three) inform the owner of their temporary residence, whether it's a traditional rental or a short-term rental unit, about their sex offender status at least ten days before their stay. Additionally, short-term rental hosts and hosting platforms must notify property owners within 1,000 feet of the rental property at least 24 hours before a sex offender's arrival, including details about the length of their stay. The bill requires online rental advertisements to include the property's full address and links to the sex offender registry, along with a prominent warning that sexual offenders must register according to state law. Violations could result in fines or potential suspension of rental licenses. The law is set to take effect on the first day of November following its passage, with provisions for immediate implementation of necessary regulations.
