BILL NUMBER: S1687 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. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
