NY A00432

Level two and level three sex offenders are prohibited from knowingly residing within 1,500 feet of their victim's residence.

The residence restriction remains in effect for as long as the offender maintains a level two or three classification.

It is an affirmative defense if the victim established their residence within 1,500 feet of the offender's residence after the offender's conviction.

No provision requires disclosure of a victim's address to a sex offender.

Violation of the residence restriction is a class E felony, effective 180 days after the bill becomes law.
