 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 4734

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 6, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. DURSO -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Correction

 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to authorizing munici-
 palities to establish residency restrictions for sex offenders

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. It is the sense of the legislature
 2 that determinations regarding restrictions upon the residence of sex
 3 offenders who are required to register pursuant to the provisions of
 4 article 6-C of the correction law should be made by the local munici-
 5 pality in which such offenders reside since municipalities are in a
 6 better position than the state, after taking into consideration local
 7 conditions and after determining what entities with vulnerable popu-
 8 lations would require protection from registered sex offenders, to make
 9 such determinations.
 10 § 2. Section 168-w of the correction law, as renumbered by chapter 604
 11 of the laws of 2005, is renumbered section 168-x and a new section 168-w
 12 is added to read as follows:
 13 § 168-w. Municipal residency restrictions. Any municipality may enact
 14 a local law which imposes residency restrictions upon sex offenders
 15 required to register pursuant to this article, provided that such resi-
 16 dency restrictions are no less restrictive than the requirements set
 17 forth in paragraph (a) of subdivision four-a of section 65.10 of the
 18 penal law and subdivision fourteen of section two hundred fifty-nine-c
 19 of the executive law.
 20 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
