S 7830 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to registration requirements applicable to certain sex offenders who are transient

Senate Bill S 7830 amends the registration requirements for level three sex offenders and sexual predators who are transient. A "transient" is defined as a person without a regular residence, including those staying in shelters or vehicles. The bill requires these individuals to register within five days of release from incarceration or entering the state. They must then re-register every 30 days, providing current information, including specific locations where they sleep, eat, work, frequent, and engage in leisure activities.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to recommit it to the Senate Crime Victims and Correction Committee for further review. Substantively, the registration requirements for transient sex offenders were significantly modified to better address the unique circumstances of homeless individuals.

Scope change

The bill's applicability now explicitly includes individuals experiencing homelessness who have a specific community location they return to regularly, rather than just those with no residence at all.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'transient' was expanded to include homeless individuals who identify a specific location as their home base and intend to remain there, ensuring they are not excluded from registration requirements due to their housing status.

REQUIREMENT

New language was added to clarify that the duty to personally verify an address applies specifically to individuals experiencing homelessness who meet the new definition of having a home base.

The previous detailed list of specific registration timelines (e.g., five days after release, every thirty days) and reporting details for transients was removed, likely to be replaced by new language or to be addressed in a subsequent amendment.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was updated from S 7830 to S 7830--A to reflect that it has been amended and recommitted to the committee.
