  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 168-a of the correction law is amended by adding  a
new subdivision 19 to read as follows:
  19.  "RESIDENCE"  OR  "DOMICILE"  MEANS  ANY  PLACE  WHERE AN OFFENDER
INTENDS TO RESIDE ON EITHER A FULL OR PART  TIME  BASIS.  NOTHING  SHALL
PROHIBIT,  FOR  THE  PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE ONLY, A PERSON FROM HAVING
MULTIPLE RESIDENCES OR DOMICILES.
  S 2. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 168-b of the correction
law, as amended by chapter 67 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as
follows:
  (a) The sex offender's name, all aliases used,  date  of  birth,  sex,
race,  height,  weight, eye color, driver's license number, home address
and/or expected place of domicile, any internet accounts  with  internet
access  providers  belonging  to  such offender and internet identifiers
that such offender uses. THE DIVISION  SHALL  QUERY  OFFENDERS  ON  EACH
REGISTRATION FORM WHETHER SUCH OFFENDER HAS MULTIPLE RESIDENCES OR DOMI-
CILES  AS  DEFINED  IN  SUBDIVISION  NINETEEN  OF  SECTION  ONE  HUNDRED
SIXTY-EIGHT-A OF THIS ARTICLE AND  SHALL  DEVELOP  EXAMPLES  OF  WHEN  A
PERSON  SHALL  BE DEEMED TO HAVE MULTIPLE RESIDENCES OR DOMICILES. IF AN
OFFENDER ACQUIRES OR ESTABLISHES ANY ADDITIONAL RESIDENCES OR  DOMICILES
DURING  A  REGISTRATION  PERIOD,  SUCH  OFFENDER SHALL, WITHIN TEN DAYS,
NOTIFY ANY POLICE DEPARTMENT OF SUCH ADDITIONAL RESIDENCES OR  DOMICILES
IN THE MANNER DIRECTED BY THE DIVISION.
  S  3.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided  that,  the  division  of  criminal  justice
services  shall, within one hundred eighty days of such date notify each
offender of their affirmative obligation to update registration informa-
tion to detail any changes required by this act.
