It is the sense of the legislature that determinations regarding restrictions upon the residence of sex offenders who are required to register pursuant to the provisions of article 6-C of the correction law should be made by the local munici- pality in which such offenders reside since municipalities are in a better position than the state, after taking into consideration local conditions and after determining what entities with vulnerable popu- lations would require protection from registered sex offenders, to make such determinations. S 2. Section 168-w of the correction law, as relettered by chapter 604 of the laws of 2005, is redesignated section 168-x and a new section 168-w is added to read as follows: S 168-W. MUNICIPAL RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS. ANY MUNICIPALITY MAY ENACT A LOCAL LAW WHICH IMPOSES RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS UPON SEX OFFENDERS REQUIRED TO REGISTER PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH RESI- DENCY RESTRICTIONS ARE NO LESS RESTRICTIVE THAN THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION FOUR-A OF SECTION 65.10 OF THE PENAL LAW AND SUBDIVISION FOURTEEN OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-C OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW.
