  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

  Section 1. Subdivisions 2 and 4 of section  168-d  of  the  correction
law,  subdivision 2 as amended and subdivision 4 as added by chapter 684

  2. Any sex offender, who is released on probation or  discharged  upon
payment  of  a  fine,  conditional  discharge or unconditional discharge
shall, prior to such release or discharge, be informed  of  his  or  her
duty  to register under this article by the court in which he or she was
convicted. At the time sentence is  imposed,  such  sex  offender  shall
register with the division on a form prepared by the division. The court
shall  require  the  sex  offender  to  read  and  sign such form and to
complete the registration portion of such form. The court shall on  such
form  obtain  the  address where the sex offender expects to reside upon
his or her release, and the name and address of any institution of high-
er education he or she expects to be employed by, enrolled in, attending
or employed, whether for compensation or not,  and  whether  he  or  she
expects  to  reside  in a facility owned or operated by such an institu-
tion, and shall report such information to the division. The court shall
give one copy of the form to the sex offender and shall send two  copies
to  the division which shall forward the information to the law enforce-
ment agencies having jurisdiction.  The  court  shall  also  notify  the
district  attorney and the sex offender of the date of the determination
proceeding to be held pursuant to subdivision  three  of  this  section,

S. 1391                             2

which shall be held at least forty-five days after such notice is given.
[This] THE notice TO THE SEX OFFENDER shall include the following state-
ment  [or  a substantially similar statement]: "This proceeding is being
held  to  determine whether you will be classified as a level 3 offender
(risk of repeat offense is high), a level 2  offender  (risk  of  repeat
offense  is  moderate), or a level 1 offender (risk of repeat offense is
low), or whether you will be designated as a sexual predator, a sexually
violent offender or a predicate sex offender, which will  determine  how
long you must register as a sex offender and how much information can be
provided to the public concerning your registration. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO
A  HEARING BEFORE THE COURT MAKES THESE DETERMINATIONS. YOU HAVE A RIGHT
TO BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AT THAT HEARING. COUNSEL WILL  BE  PROVIDED
IF  YOU  ARE  FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO RETAIN COUNSEL. FAILURE TO APPEAR AT
THE HEARING IS A VIOLATION OF THIS ARTICLE. If you  fail  to  appear  at
this  proceeding,  [without sufficient excuse,] it shall be held in your
absence. Failure to appear may result in a longer period of registration
or a higher level of community notification because you are not  present
to offer evidence or contest evidence offered by the district attorney."
[The court shall also advise the sex offender that he or she has a right
to  a hearing prior to the court's determination, that he or she has the
right to be represented by counsel at the hearing and that counsel  will
be  appointed  if he or she is financially unable to retain counsel.] If
the sex offender applies for assignment of counsel to represent  him  or
her  at the hearing and counsel was not previously assigned to represent
the sex offender in the underlying  criminal  action,  the  court  shall
determine  whether the offender is financially unable to retain counsel.
If such a finding is made, the court shall assign counsel  to  represent
the sex offender pursuant to article eighteen-B of the county law. Where
the  court  orders a sex offender released on probation, such order must
include a provision requiring that he or she comply  with  the  require-
ments  of this article. Where such sex offender violates such provision,
probation may be immediately revoked in the manner provided  by  article
four hundred ten of the criminal procedure law.
  4.  If  a  sex offender, having been given notice OF THE DETERMINATION
PROCEEDING, including the time and place [of the determination  proceed-
ing]  THEREOF  in  accordance  with this section, fails to appear AND BE
HEARD at [this] SUCH proceeding, [without sufficient excuse,] the  court
shall  conduct the hearing and make the determinations in the manner set
forth in subdivision three of this section.
  S 2. Section 168-f of the correction law is amended by  adding  a  new
subdivision 1-a to read as follows:
  1-A.  EACH  SEX OFFENDER SHALL APPEAR AT THE DETERMINATION PROCEEDING,
SET FORTH IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED  SIXTY-EIGHT-D  OF
THIS  ARTICLE,  SUBDIVISION  TWO OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT-K OF
THIS ARTICLE OR SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION ONE  HUNDRED  SIXTY-EIGHT-N
OF THIS ARTICLE, HELD TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF NOTIFICATION AND WHETHER
SUCH  SEX  OFFENDER  SHALL  BE  DESIGNATED  A  SEXUAL PREDATOR, SEXUALLY
VIOLENT OFFENDER, OR PREDICATE SEX OFFENDER.
  S 3. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 2 of section 168-f of the correction
law, as amended by chapter 453 of the laws of 1999, is amended  to  read
as follows:
  (c)  If the sex offender fails to mail the signed verification form to
the division within ten calendar days after receipt of the form,  he  or
she  shall  be in violation of this [section unless he proves that he or
she has not changed his or her residence address] ARTICLE.

  S 4. Subdivisions 2 and 4 of section  168-k  of  the  correction  law,
subdivision  2  as  amended and subdivision 4 as added by chapter 684 of
the laws of 2005, are amended to read as follows:
  2.  The  division  shall  advise  the  board that the sex offender has
established residence in this state. The board shall  determine  whether
the  sex  offender  is  required to register with the division. If it is
determined that the sex offender is required to register,  the  division
shall  notify the sex offender of his or her duty to register under this
article and shall require the sex offender to sign  a  form  as  may  be
required by the division acknowledging that the duty to register and the
procedure  for  registration has been explained to the sex offender. The
division shall obtain on such form the address where  the  sex  offender
expects to reside within the state and the sex offender shall retain one
copy of the form and send two copies to the division which shall provide
the  information to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction where
the sex offender expects to reside within  this  state.  No  later  than
thirty days prior to the board making a recommendation, the sex offender
shall  be  notified  that his or her case is under review and that he or
she is permitted to submit to the board any information relevant to  the
review.  After  reviewing  any  information  obtained,  and applying the
guidelines established  in  subdivision  five  of  section  one  hundred
sixty-eight-l  of  this  article,  the board shall within sixty calendar
days make a recommendation regarding the level of notification  pursuant
to  subdivision six of section one hundred sixty-eight-l of this article
and whether such sex offender shall be  designated  a  sexual  predator,
sexually  violent  offender,  or  predicate  sex  offender as defined in
subdivision seven of section one hundred sixty-eight-a of this  article.
This recommendation shall be confidential and shall not be available for
public  inspection.  It  shall  be  submitted by the board to the county
court or supreme court and to the district attorney  in  the  county  of
residence  of  the sex offender and to the sex offender. It shall be the
duty of the county court or supreme court in the county of residence  of
the  sex  offender,  applying  the guidelines established in subdivision
five of section one hundred sixty-eight-l of this article, to  determine
the  level  of  notification  pursuant to subdivision six of section one
hundred sixty-eight-l of this article  and  whether  such  sex  offender
shall  be  designated  a  sexual predator, sexually violent offender, or
predicate sex offender as defined in subdivision seven  of  section  one
hundred sixty-eight-a of this article. At least thirty days prior to the
determination  proceeding, such court shall notify the district attorney
and the sex offender, in writing,  of  the  date  of  the  determination
proceeding  and  the  court shall also provide the district attorney and
sex offender with a copy of the recommendation received from  the  board
and  any  statement  of the reasons for the recommendation received from
the board. [This] THE notice TO  THE  SEX  OFFENDER  shall  include  the
following  statement  [or  a  substantially  similar  statement]:  "This
proceeding is being held to determine whether you will be classified  as
a  level 3 offender (risk of repeat offense is high), a level 2 offender
(risk of repeat offense is moderate), or a level  1  offender  (risk  of
repeat  offense  is  low), or whether you will be designated as a sexual
predator, a sexually violent offender or a predicate sex offender, which
will determine how long you must register as a sex offender and how much
information can be provided to the public concerning your  registration.
YOU  HAVE  A  RIGHT  TO  A HEARING BEFORE THE COURT MAKES THESE DETERMI-
NATIONS. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AT THAT  HEARING.
COUNSEL  WILL  BE PROVIDED IF YOU ARE FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO RETAIN COUN-

SEL. FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THE HEARING IS A VIOLATION OF THIS ARTICLE. If
you fail to appear at this proceeding, [without sufficient  excuse,]  it
shall  be held in your absence. Failure to appear may result in a longer
period  of  registration  or  a  higher  level of community notification
because you are not  present  to  offer  evidence  or  contest  evidence
offered by the district attorney."  [The court shall also advise the sex
offender  that  he  or she has a right to a hearing prior to the court's
determination, that he or she has the right to be represented by counsel
at the hearing and that counsel will be appointed if he or she is finan-
cially unable to retain counsel.] A returnable form shall be enclosed in
the court's notice to the sex offender on which  the  sex  offender  may
apply  for  assignment  of  counsel.    If  the sex offender applies for
assignment of counsel and the court finds that the  offender  is  finan-
cially  unable  to  retain  counsel,  the  court shall assign counsel to
represent the sex offender pursuant to article eighteen-B of the  county
law.  If  the  district attorney seeks a determination that differs from
the recommendation submitted by the board, at least ten  days  prior  to
the  determination proceeding the district attorney shall provide to the
court and the sex offender a statement setting forth the  determinations
sought  by  the  district attorney together with the reasons for seeking
such determinations. The court shall allow the sex  offender  to  appear
and be heard. The state shall appear by the district attorney, or his or
her  designee, who shall bear the burden of proving the facts supporting
the determinations sought by clear and convincing evidence. It shall  be
the duty of the court applying the guidelines established in subdivision
five  of  section one hundred sixty-eight-l of this article to determine
the level of notification pursuant to subdivision  six  of  section  one
hundred  sixty-eight-l  of  this  article  and whether such sex offender
shall be designated a sexual predator,  sexually  violent  offender,  or
predicate  sex  offender  as defined in subdivision seven of section one
hundred sixty-eight-a of this article. Where there is a dispute  between
the  parties  concerning the determinations, the court shall adjourn the
hearing as necessary to permit the sex offender or the district attorney
to obtain materials relevant to the determinations from the state  board
of  examiners of sex offenders or any state or local facility, hospital,
institution, office, agency, department or division. Such materials  may
be  obtained  by  subpoena if not voluntarily provided to the requesting
party. In making the determinations the court shall review any  victim's
statement  and  any relevant materials and evidence submitted by the sex
offender and the district attorney and the recommendation and any  mate-
rial  submitted by the board, and may consider reliable hearsay evidence
submitted by either party, provided that it is relevant to the  determi-
nations.  If available, facts proven at trial or elicited at the time of
a plea of guilty shall be deemed established  by  clear  and  convincing
evidence  and  shall not be relitigated. The court shall render an order
setting forth its determinations and the findings of  fact  and  conclu-
sions  of law on which the determinations are based. A copy of the order
shall be submitted by the court to the  division.  Upon  application  of
either  party,  the  court  shall  seal any portion of the court file or
record which contains material that is confidential under any  state  or
federal  statute.  Either  party  may  appeal as of right from the order
pursuant to the provisions of articles fifty-five, fifty-six and  fifty-
seven  of  the  civil  practice  law  and  rules. Where counsel has been
assigned to represent the sex offender upon  the  ground  that  the  sex
offender  is financially unable to retain counsel, that assignment shall
be continued throughout the pendency of the appeal, and the  person  may

appeal  as  a  poor  person pursuant to article eighteen-B of the county
law.
  4.  If  a  sex offender, having been given notice OF THE DETERMINATION
PROCEEDING, including the time and place [of the determination  proceed-
ing]  THEREOF  in  accordance  with this section, fails to appear AND BE
HEARD at [this] SUCH proceeding, [without sufficient excuse,] the  court
shall  conduct the hearing and make the determinations in the manner set
forth in subdivision two of this section.
  S 5. Subdivisions 3 and 6 of section  168-n  of  the  correction  law,
subdivision  3  as  amended and subdivision 6 as added by chapter 684 of
the laws of 2005, are amended to read as follows:
  3. No later than thirty days prior to the board's recommendation,  the
sex  offender shall be notified that his or her case is under review and
that he or she is permitted to submit to the board any information rele-
vant to the review. Upon receipt  of  the  board's  recommendation,  the
sentencing court shall determine whether the sex offender was previously
found  to be eligible for assigned counsel in the underlying case. Where
such a finding was previously made, the court shall  assign  counsel  to
represent  the  offender,  pursuant  to article eighteen-B of the county
law. At least twenty days prior to  the  determination  proceeding,  the
sentencing  court  shall  notify the district attorney, the sex offender
and the sex offender's counsel, in writing, of the date of the  determi-
nation  proceeding and shall also provide the district attorney, the sex
offender and the sex offender's counsel with a copy of  the  recommenda-
tion  received  from  the board and any statement of the reasons for the
recommendation received from the board. [This] THE  notice  TO  THE  SEX
OFFENDER shall include the following statement [or a substantially simi-
lar statement]:  "This proceeding is being held to determine whether you
will  be  classified  as  a  level 3 offender (risk of repeat offense is
high), a level 2 offender (risk of repeat offense  is  moderate),  or  a
level 1 offender (risk of repeat offense is low), or whether you will be
designated as a sexual predator, a sexually violent offender or a predi-
cate  sex offender, which will determine how long you must register as a
sex offender and how much information can  be  provided  to  the  public
concerning  your  registration. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO A HEARING BEFORE THE

to appear may result in a longer period  of  registration  or  a  higher
level  of  community  notification  because you are not present to offer
evidence or contest evidence offered by  the  district  attorney."  [The
written  notice  to the sex offender shall also advise the offender that
he or she has a right to a hearing prior to the  court's  determination,
and  that  he  or  she has the right to be represented by counsel at the
hearing.] If counsel has been assigned to represent the offender at  the
determination  proceeding,  the  notice  shall  also  provide  the name,
address and telephone number of the assigned counsel. Where counsel  has
not  been assigned, [the notice shall advise the sex offender that coun-
sel will be appointed if he or she is financially unable to retain coun-
sel, and] a returnable form shall be enclosed in the court's  notice  to
the  sex  offender on which the sex offender may apply for assignment of
counsel.  If the sex offender applies for assignment of counsel and  the

determination  that  differs  from  the  recommendation submitted by the
board, at least ten days  prior  to  the  determination  proceeding  the
district  attorney  shall  provide  to  the court and the sex offender a
statement setting forth the determinations sought by the district attor-
ney together with the reasons for seeking such determinations. The court
shall allow the sex offender to appear and be  heard.  The  state  shall
appear  by the district attorney, or his or her designee, who shall bear
the burden of proving the facts supporting the determinations sought  by

examiners of sex offenders or any state  or  local  facility,  hospital,
institution, office, agency, department or division.  Such materials may
be  obtained  by  subpoena if not voluntarily provided to the requesting
party. In making the determinations the court shall review any  victim's
statement  and  any relevant materials and evidence submitted by the sex
offender and the district attorney and the recommendation and any  mate-
rials submitted by the board, and may consider reliable hearsay evidence
submitted  by either party, provided that it is relevant to the determi-
nations. Facts previously proven at trial or elicited  at  the  time  of
entry  of  a  plea  of  guilty  shall be deemed established by clear and
convincing evidence and shall not be relitigated. The court shall render
an order setting forth its determinations and the findings of  fact  and
conclusions  of law on which the determinations are based. A copy of the
order shall be submitted by the court to the division. Upon  application
of  either  party, the court shall seal any portion of the court file or
record which contains material that is confidential under any  state  or
federal  statute.  Either  party  may  appeal as of right from the order
pursuant to the provisions of articles fifty-five, fifty-six and  fifty-
seven  of  the  civil  practice  law  and  rules. Where counsel has been
assigned to represent the sex offender upon  the  ground  that  the  sex
offender  is financially unable to retain counsel, that assignment shall
be continued throughout the pendency of the appeal, and the  person  may
appeal  as  a  poor  person pursuant to article eighteen-B of the county
law.

PROCEEDING,  including the time and place [of the determination proceed-
