Includes authorized internet entities in the information sex offenders are required to disclose upon registration
This bill expands New York's sex offender registration requirements by mandating that offenders disclose all social media accounts and other online platforms they use, in addition to their internet accounts. It directly affects sex offenders registering under New York's correction law, requiring them to report changes to their internet accounts, online platforms, or address within 10 days. The key mechanism adds "authorized internet entities" (such as social media or messaging services) to the list of information they must provide during initial registration and when updating their details. The law also specifies that a $10 fee applies for each registration update related to these changes. This policy change aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to track offenders' online activity.
