Bill > A06171

This bill amends the New York domestic relations law to require a custodial parent (the parent with primary physical custody of a child) who lives with a registered sex offender to disclose that information to the non-custodial parent (the parent with less or no physical custody). The bill creates a new section (§ 240-e) in the domestic relations law that mandates this disclosure, with the intent of providing the non-custodial parent with important information about potential safety risks for their child. The law will take effect 90 days after it is signed, giving parents and legal systems time to prepare for and implement the new disclosure requirement. By requiring this specific type of notification, the bill aims to enhance child safety by ensuring that parents are informed about sex offenders living in their child's household.
