Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to registering with the sex offender registry no later than five days after any change of address

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Correction Law to reduce the timeframe for sex offenders to register changes in address, internet accounts, identifiers, or educational/employment status with the state division from ten calendar days to five calendar days. The bill maintains the existing requirement that sex offenders pay a ten-dollar fee each time they register a change, though failure to submit the fee will not prevent the division from accepting the registration update. By shortening the registration window, the legislation aims to improve tracking and monitoring of sex offenders' whereabouts and activities, potentially enhancing public safety. The bill will go into effect 90 days after becoming law, giving affected individuals and government agencies time to prepare for the new shorter registration timeline.
