BILL NUMBER:S869 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to knowingly harboring a sex offender who has failed to register or verify SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds a new subdivision 168-ii that provides that any person who knowingly harbors, houses or employs a sex offender required to register or verify residence or employment pursuant to Section 168 of the Corrections Law, who has failed to register or verify as required by law, and fails to notify his or her local law enforcement agency as to the location of such offender, shall be guilty of an A misdemeanor. Section 2 provides that the act shall take effect on January first next succeeding the date upon which it shall have become law. PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION: The recent abduction and murder of Jessica Lunsford in Florida has again reminded us of the possibility of recidivism for those convicted of sex offenses, as well as the problem of dealing with those who protect convicted sex offenders who they know have not registered with the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
