In addition, a person required to be registered under SORA must notify law enforcement officials within 10 days after the person changes his or her residence, domicile, or place of work or education. Under the bill, that provision would apply to changing or vacating a residence, domicile, or place of work or education.
Senate Bill 606
Under the bill, a second offense for failure to update sex offender registration information would be a Class F felony against the public order, with a statutory maximum sentence of four years' imprisonment. (Under Senate Bill 607, however, that penalty would apply to an individual with two or more prior convictions.)

FISCAL IMPACT
The bills would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on State and local government. There are no data to indicate how many offenders would receive increased penalties for subsequent convictions. Local units would incur the costs misdemeanor probation and incarceration in a local facility, which vary by county. The State would incur the costs of felony probation at an average annual cost of $2,000, as well as the costs of incarceration in a State facility at an average annual cost of $28,000.
