Relates to prohibiting admission of sex offenders to state operated psychiatric centers which share facilities with a children's psychiatric center

This bill (A 2477) prohibits state-operated psychiatric facilities that share a building with a children's psychiatric center from admitting or treating registered sex offenders. It requires these facilities to screen all patients for sex offender status under New York's Correction Law before admission. The law bans such facilities from treating registered sex offenders at locations sharing space with children's centers, creating a separation to protect minors. The policy applies directly to state psychiatric centers operating in shared facilities with children's programs.
