 STATE OF NEW YORK

 Introduced by Sens. SEPULVEDA, PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed,

 AN ACT creating a temporary New York state commission on sex offender
 supervision and management and providing for the repeal of such
 provisions upon expiration thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby
 2 finds and declares that persons convicted of a sex offense present a
 3 danger to the public. It is necessary that these offenders receive
 4 appropriate supervision and treatment designed to reduce the risk of
 5 re-offense in order to ensure the safety, health and welfare of the
 6 communities in which convicted sex offenders reside. The legislature
 7 further finds that New York's state prison system does not adequately
 8 prepare incarcerated individuals for a safe return to the community upon
 9 the completion of their sentence. Lack of treatment during incarceration
 10 creates a threat to public safety by increasing the likelihood that
 11 incarcerated individuals released to the community will be unable to
 12 successfully transition back to society and therefore heightens the risk
 13 of re-offense. This is especially true for sex offenders who often do
 14 not find appropriate housing and treatment programs in the community.
 15 Further, the division of parole, local probation departments and social
 16 services agencies are often unable to locate suitable housing for
 17 convicted sex offenders. This lack of housing has resulted in an unac-
 18 ceptable level of concentration of sex offenders in certain residential
 19 areas.
 20 § 2. A temporary state commission, to be known as the New York state
 21 commission on sex offender supervision and management, hereinafter
 22 referred to as the commission, is hereby created to examine, evaluate,
 23 and make recommendations concerning the effectiveness of programs
 24 involving incarcerated individuals who are required to register as a sex

 1 offender pursuant to article 6-C of the correction law released from
 2 state and local correctional facilities. The commission shall investi-
 3 gate all factors that impact the risk of recidivism, and lead to the
 4 concentration of sex offenders in certain residential areas. The commis-
 5 sion shall analyze the impact of existing policies and practices and
 6 compare such policies and practices of this state to those of other
 7 states and the federal government. The commission shall collect data
 8 from state and federal agencies and may analyze any current research
 9 deemed relevant and appropriate. Specifically, the commission shall
 10 examine at least the following:
 11 (a) the existence of concentrations of registered sex offenders in
 12 certain residential areas and municipalities and the circumstances that
 13 caused such concentrations to exist;
 14 (b) the practices and procedures of the division of parole, local
 15 probation departments and local social services districts in investigat-
 16 ing and approving residences for convicted sex offenders;
 17 (c) the availability of appropriate housing for convicted sex offen-
 18 ders;
 19 (d) the adequacy of supervision and monitoring of registered sex
 20 offenders under the supervision of the division of parole or serving a
