Requires website providing sex offender registry information to be searchable by the zip code of a registrant's employment

Bill S 5872 requires New York's sex offender registry website to include the zip code of a registrant's employment address and make this information searchable by that zip code. It directly affects the public accessing the registry (e.g., neighbors, employers) and the Department of Corrections, which must update its website to include employment zip codes and enable searches by both residence and employment zip codes. Key provisions mandate that the registry subdirectory must list employment zip codes and allow internet searches using them, alongside existing features like residence-based searches. The bill also adds free email alerts for users to monitor new registrations in specific zip codes or counties. This changes how the public can locate employment-related information about registered sex offenders online.
