New York S00281 allows municipalities to set residency restrictions for registered sex offenders.
New York S00281 amends the correction law to authorize municipalities to establish residency restrictions for sex offenders. The bill holds that local municipalities are better positioned to determine such restrictions, considering local conditions and the need to protect vulnerable populations. Any municipality may enact local laws imposing residency restrictions on sex offenders, provided they are at least as restrictive as those set forth in the penal law and executive law. The act takes effect immediately.
