BILL NUMBER:S3659 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 legis- lation would restrict the number of level 2 and level 3 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 communi- ty. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The Correction Law is amended by adding a new section 168-11 relating to development of guidelines and procedures on the placement, location, relocation, or settlement of level two and level three sex offenders 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. A high concentration of sex offenders living in a community increases the risk of are-offense and parents may be hesitant to raise their chil- dren in communities where high numbers of sex offenders are living,
