BILL NUMBER: S3389 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the correction law, in relation to prohibiting sex offenders from using state and municipal parks PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To prohibit the use of state and municipal owned parks by registered sex offenders in New York state. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 168-w of the correction law is relettered 168-x and a new section 168-w is added which states that any person who is required to register as a sex offender pursuant to current law is prohibited from entering, being in or being located within five hundred feet of state parks and municipal-owned parks. JUSTIFICATION : The citizens of the state must have further protection from sexual predators. This can be accomplished in part by prohibiting registered sex offenders from being in or near parks frequented by children and other vulnerable populations.
