NY A09538

Creates a publicly accessible online registry within the Division of Criminal Justice Services for "persistent domestic violence offenders" — individuals convicted of a second or subsequent domestic violence offense against a domestic abuse victim

Registry will display offender's name, date of birth, conviction date, county of conviction, and current photograph, but excludes addresses, social security numbers, and ID numbers to protect against misidentification

Defines domestic abuse broadly to include physical injury, threats, property damage, stalking, and financial abuse against spouses, cohabitants, dating partners, relatives, or their children

Requires offenders to pay a $150 registration fee ($50 retained by court clerk, $100 remitted to the division for administration)

Registry listing duration varies by offense history: 2 years for one prior conviction, 5 years for two priors, and 10 years for three or more prior convictions; takes effect January 1, 2027
