BILL NUMBER: S2097 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the correction law, in relation to restricting the residency of certain sex offenders PURPOSE : Sex offenders often live in close proximity to one another, either in the same dwelling or in the same neighborhood. This legislation would restrict the number of sex offenders that could live in an area if a high concentration of sex offenders were already living in the area or if the municipality lacked the support services to properly keep track of the offenders living in the community. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : The corrections law is amended by adding a new section 168-11 JUSTIFICATION : Oftentimes sex offenders will move in with, or near, other sex offenders, placing a greater burden on the municipality to keep track of all registered offenders.
