BILL NUMBER:S1943 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to prohibiting registered sex offenders from working with children PURPOSE: To prohibit registered sex offenders from working with children SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends the Correction Law by relettering section 168-w to 168-x and adding a new section 168-w. New section 168-w prohibits all registered sex offenders from accepting an assignment, whether paid or as a volunteer, that places him or her in substantial contact with children. "Substantial contact with children" is defined as "working with children, having opportunity to be alone with children, spending time specifically with children, performing for children, and engaging in any other activity that is targeted to involve children." Employers, organizations, and government entities are required to complete a background check against New York State's Sex Offender Registry maintained by the Division of Criminal Justice Services for all prospective employees and volunteers. Penalties are provided for registered sex offenders who violate this section as well
