Sex Offender Management Treatment Act
SEX OFFENDER MANAGEMENT TREATMENT ACT: 2007 N.Y. Laws Ch. 7.
This bill enacts the Sex Offender Management and Treatment Act, which establishes comprehensive reforms to enhance public safety by allowing the State to continue managing sex offenders upon the expiration of their criminal sentences, either by civilly confining the most dangerous recidivistic sex offenders, or by permitting strict and intensive parole supervision of offenders who pose a lesser risk of harm. Treatment is mandated during both criminal and civil confinement and during the period of strict supervision. It also establishes an Office of Sex Offender Management and creates a new crime of a "Sexually motivated felony," and provides for enhanced terms of post-release supervision for all persons who commit felony sex offenses.
