NY A10731

Expands sex offender restrictions to prohibit convicted sex offenders (whose victim was under 18 or designated as level 3 offenders) from knowingly being within 1,000 feet of child care providers, preschools, and facilities providing pre-kindergarten or kindergarten instruction, in addition to existing school grounds restrictions.

Allows exceptions to the 1,000-foot restriction when the offender is a registered student, participant, or employee of the facility, or has a family member enrolled there, with written authorization from their parole/probation officer and the facility's superintendent or chief administrator.

Applies the 1,000-foot restriction requirement as a mandatory condition of parole, conditional release, probation, or conditional discharge for covered sex offenders.

Directs the Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision to obtain quarterly updated lists from the Commissioner of Education of all elementary and secondary schools, child care providers, preschools, and pre-kindergarten/kindergarten facilities in the state and distribute this information to the parole board and probation director.

Takes effect immediately, except that the parole and probation provisions take effect on July 1 following enactment.
