BILL NUMBER:S1854
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring inmates to have an acceptable residence to qualify for parole
Purpose
This legislation would require any parolee, prior to release, to secure an acceptable permanent residence and not a temporary shelter, for the purpose of complying with all state and local laws and regu- lations regarding placement of registered sex offenders.
Summary of provisions
This legislation amends Subparagraph (A) of para- graph (c) of subdivision 2 of Section 259-i of the executive law, as amended by Section 38-f-1 of subpart A of part C of Chapter 62 of 2011, requiting release plans for paroled inmates to include an acceptable residence which must be a permanent residence and not a temporary shel- ter, including, but not limited to a homeless shelter, motel/hotel, or trailer, and shall allow the inmate to comply with all state and local laws and regulations regarding placement of registered sex offenders.
Justification
Communities rely on the protection of their children by enforcing state and local laws and regulations regarding homes of regis- tered sex offenders; housing paroled individuals in temporary shelters or other residences cannot ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
