Relates to notice of transfer of sex offender to community program or residence
This bill requires New York's commissioner to notify local officials when a sex offender (as defined by state law) is moved to a community program or residence within a municipality. Specifically, the commissioner must provide written notice to the local chief executive officer and school superintendents at least 10 days before the transfer. The law applies to all municipalities and school districts where such facilities are located, ensuring timely awareness of resident changes. It creates a formal notification process without altering existing sex offender regulations or program standards.
