A 4443 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the residence of a sex offender near a school and the victim of such offender

This bill restricts where certain sex offenders can live. It prohibits Level 3 sex offenders (with victims under 18) from residing within school grounds as defined by law, and bans all Level 2 and 3 offenders from living within a quarter mile of a victim's workplace or residence (or a deceased victim's former home if family members still live there). These restrictions apply to offenders under supervision or probation and must be included in court release conditions. The law aims to limit offender proximity to schools and victims, with guidelines requiring local probation departments to consider factors like neighborhood concentration of offenders and access to treatment programs. It directly affects sex offenders designated Level 2 or 3 under New York's registration system.
