New York State’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, recently took away Nassau County’s ability to set its own residency rules on convicted sex offenders.
That’s why Legislator Rich Nicolello is working with our state legislators to help Nassau County regain its right to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
Legislator Nicolello & Nassau County are seeking to restrict Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 convicted sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school. Currently, NYS only sets residency limits on Level 3 offenders. This proposal is just common sense.
Legislator Nicolello will continue to fight for the passage of this legislation to restore Nassau’s ability to protect our residents.
