Title of bill
An act to amend the correction law, in relation to subdirectory of level two and three sex offenders
Purpose or general idea of bill
Allows automated e-mail notification of change or update in Subdirectory in specific locality at no charge.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends subdivision 1 of section 168-q of the correction law to provide that any person may apply to the division to receive e-mail notification when a registration has been entered or updated in the subdirectory of level three sex offenders in a geographic area specified by the applicant. E-mail updates shall be provided free of charge for specific counties or zip codes. Each e-mail address is limited to three geographic areas.
Justification
The primary purpose of the state sex offender registry is to provide information to help New Yorkers keep themselves and their families safe from known sex offenders living in their communities. While local law enforcement agencies may elect to distribute information about registered sex offenders to the surrounding community, it is most often the responsibility of concerned residents to monitor the registry. A subdirectory of the highest risk, level three, sex offenders is available on the internet, but its information changes daily as new offenders are added or existing registrants change their information. Automated e-mail updates would allow people to keep tabs on a specific geographic area within New York, such as where they live or where their children attend school, and would save them the time-consuming chore of making regular visits to the subdirectory website and having to enter their personal information before each visit.
