BILL NUMBER:A11008
Title of bill
An act to amend the correction law, in relation to providing certain information regarding level one sex offenders to the offices of local village, town, city, county or state law enforcement agencies
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation seeks to facilitate law enforcement's access to information related to level one sex offen- ders.
Summary of specific provisions
This legislation seeks to add a new subdivision (subdivision 2) to section 168-q of the correction law. The current subdivision 2 is renumbered to subdivision 3.
Justification
While information pertaining to level 2 and level 3 sex offenders is readily available, information on level 1 sex offenders is harder to come by. This can be detrimental to law enforcement officers, who, despite having access to some information on level 1 sex offenders, do not have uniform means of searching for that information.
The law would allow law enforcement to access information that they already can access, but in one location.
Prior legislative history
This is a new bill.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
This act shall take effect 180 days after becoming law.
