§ 149. Released incarcerated individuals; notification to sheriff,
police, and district attorney. In the case of any incarcerated
individual convicted of a felony, it shall be the duty of the department
at least forty-eight hours prior to the release of any such incarcerated
individual from a correctional facility to notify the chief of police
both of the city, town or village in which such incarcerated individual
proposes to reside and of the city, town or village in which such
incarcerated individual resided at the time of his or her conviction and
the district attorney of the county where the offense for which the
incarcerated individual is incarcerated was prosecuted, of the
contemplated release of such incarcerated individual, informing such
chief of police and the district attorney of the name and aliases of the
incarcerated individual, the address at which he or she proposes to
reside, the amount of time remaining to be served, if any, on the full
term for which he or she was sentenced, and the nature of the crime for
which he or she was sentenced, transmitting at the same time to the
chief of police a copy of such incarcerated individual's fingerprints
and photograph. Where such incarcerated individual proposes to reside
outside of a city, such notification shall be sent to the sheriff of the
county in which such incarcerated individual proposes to reside. Such
notification may be provided by electronic transmission to those willing
jurisdictions that have the capability of receiving electronic
transmission notification. Any chief of police or sheriff who receives
notification of a released incarcerated individual pursuant to this
section may request and receive from the division of criminal justice
services a report containing a summary of such incarcerated individual's
criminal record.
