BILL NUMBER:S2481 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to custody and visitation rights of a sex offender SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends Article 6-C of the Correction Law by redesignating §168-w as §168-x and a new §168-w is added to prohibit any sex offender from being granted physical or legal custody of a child by a court, or unsupervised visitation. JUSTIFICATION: The children of sex offenders, perhaps most of all, are at the greatest risk for abuse and deserve the significant protections that would come from denying a sex offender-parent custody or unsupervised visitation. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

BILL NUMBER:S2481A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to custody and visitation rights of a sex offender SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends Article 6-C of the Correction Law by re-designating § 168-w as §168-x and adding a new §168-w to prohibit any sex offender designated as a sexual predator, or a sexually violent offender, or classified as a level three risk, for a crime involving a child shall be, except in extraordinary circumstances, prohibited from being granted by a court physical or legal custody of, or unsupervised visitation with a child. The bill further amends the law by adding to the new Section 168-w a presumption of ineligibility of any sex offender classified as a level three risk from being granted physical or legal custody of, or unsupervised visitation with, a child unless the sex offender has provided clear and convincing evidence that it would be in the best interest of the child.
