BILL NUMBER: S1484
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the correction law, in relation to the duty of sex
offenders to annually verify their address
PURPOSE :
To require sex offenders to annually return a verification form to the
Division of Criminal Justice Services.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Paragraph (c) of subdivision 2 of section 168-f of the Correction Law,
as amended by Chapter 453 of the Laws of 1999, is amended to require a
sex offender to return by mail the signed address verification form to
DCJS within 10 calendar days of receipt. Failure to do so would be a
violation of this section.
JUSTIFICATION :
Currently, if a sex offender does not mail back the annual signed
address verification form to the Division of Criminal Justice
Services, it starts a process whereby local law enforcement needs to
investigate whether such individual is still residing at the
registered address. If law enforcement brings forward a case against
an individual for failing to mail back such form needed to update
their whereabouts, current law states that it is not a violation if
