Prohibits any sex offender from residing within a quarter mile of any school, playground, park or building in which child day care is provided
S 2312 prohibits sex offenders from living within 1,350 feet of schools, playgrounds, parks, or childcare facilities. This restriction directly affects individuals classified as sex offenders under New York's correction law, applying to all such locations used for child-related activities. The bill requires notification to offenders through written and oral communication from the division, parole officers, and probation officers. Violations could lead to felony charges, with penalties increasing for repeat offenses. The residency ban remains in effect as long as the individual is classified as a sex offender.
