                                BILL NUMBER:S1428

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the correction law, in relation to requiring sex offenders to
verify their registration with the sex offender registry on a biannual
basis

PURPOSE:
To increase the number of times a sex offender has to verify
their registration with the Division of Criminal Justice Services.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section One - Subdivision 4 of Section 168-b of the Correction Law, as
added by Chapter 192 of the Laws of 1995, is amended to provide that
DCJS shall on random dates in each six month period of the year mail
a non-forwardable verification form to sex offenders.

Section Two - The opening paragraph of subdivision 2 of section 168-f
of the Correction Law, as added by Chapter 192 of the Laws of 1995,
is amended to change from an annual verification date to a random
biannual verification procedure.

Section Three - Subdivision 2 of section 168-g of the Correction Law,
as amended by section 18 of subpart B of part C of Chapter 62 of the
laws of 2011, is amended to provide that sex offenders must comply

with the random biannual address verification.

Section Four - Subdivisions 1 and 2 of section 168-h of the Correction
Law, as amended by Chapter 1 of the Laws of 2006, are amended to
change annually to biannually.

Section Five - Sets forth the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
Terrifying examples of the need for stricter laws
regulating sex offenders permeate the news across the country evening
after evening. The killing of children like Jessica Lunsford in
Florida is a sad commentary indeed that sex offender registration and
community notification are not enough to keep our children and
communities safe from such vicious predators. Law enforcement
officers need better tools to be able to keep track of the most
dangerous offenders, especially those who choose to ignore their
registration requirements under New York State's version of Megan's
Law. Therefore, it is vitally important to verify the registered
location of sex offenders to make sure that they have not moved and
are still following
their registration requirements. Under current law, level three
offenders must verify their registration every 90 days. However,
level 1 and 2 offenders are only checked on once a year with a
verification form on their anniversary of registration. Recent

attacks on children across the country have shown that sex offenders
will often abscond from their registered address to areas where law
enforcement and residents are unaware of their existence. Therefore,
it is important to verify that a sex offender is indeed living where
they are registered at least once in each six month period of time.
It also makes great sense to have this card sent randomly rather than
on a specific anniversary date when an offender knows that it is
coming.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This  act  shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law, provided that any rules, regu-
lations and forms necessary to implement the provisions of this  act  on
its  effective  date  are  authorized and directed to be completed on or
before such date.
