BILL NUMBER:S7868
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law and the penal law, in relation to prohibiting certain convicted sex offenders from knowingly being within 1,000 feet of any place where pre-kindergarten or kinder- garten instruction is provided
Purpose or general idea of the bill
The purpose of this bill is to keep level three sex offenders from coming within 1,000 feet of facili- ties and institutions where pre-kindergarten and kindergarten instruc- tion is provided.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Amends section 259-c of the executive law which relates to mandatory conditions of release of level three sex offenders. Under the current law it is a mandatory condition that a level three sex offender refrain from knowingly entering into or upon any school grounds. This bill looks to expand the mandatory conditions to clearly include that a sex offender may not knowingly come within 1,000 feet from any facility or institution where pre-kindergarten or kindergarten is provided.
Section 2: Expands Penal Law section 65.10 which relates to conditions of probation and of conditional discharge. This bill will clearly expand those institutions where level three sex offenders must knowingly refrain from entering to include within 1,000 feet from facilities and institutions where pre-kindergarten and kindergarten instruction is provided.
Justification
This bill is needed to provide protection to those chil- dren who attend pre-kindergarten and kindergarten in facilities and institutions that are not now clearly considered under the current law. Without this bill dangerous sex offenders have the ability to enter upon these facilities and institutions that care for young children.
