A06129 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A6129C
 
SPONSOR: DenDekker
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, the correction law, the penal law, and the state finance law, in relation to the establish- ment of the New York state terrorist registry   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would amend the executive law, the correction law, the penal law, and the state finance law, to the establish the New York State Terrorist Registry.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Summary of Provisions: This bill would: *Create a new section 719 of the executive law to provide for sharing of the terrorist registry information between the Division of Criminal Justice Services - DCJS (the keeper of the registry) and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services - DHSES; *Create a new section 232 of the executive law to provide for sharing of the terrorist registry information between DCJS and the Division of State Police; *Create a new Article 6-D of the correction law to establish a New York State Terrorist Registry for Terrorists who live, work or attend an educational institution in New York State, based upon the model of Registration of Sex Offenders (Megan's Law - Article 6-C of the correction law); *Create a new section 490.23 of the penal law, to establish the new crime of failing to register or provide verification information for the New York State Terrorist Registry; and *Create a new section 97-aaaa of the state finance law, to establish the Terrorist Registry Funds Management Account, to provide for the collection of fees from the New York State Terrorist Registry program and to provide a fund to reimburse local governments and state agencies for their costs associated with administering the program.   PURPOSE OF THE BILL: Pursuant to the legislative intent of the bill, the purpose would of this act would be: "to monitor those individuals, who have demonstrated through their past actions, that they would commit an act of terrorism, so that through such monitoring, such persons will be discouraged and/or prevented from committing any new acts of terrorism, against the people and property of the state of New York."   TERRORIST REGISTRY: Specifically, the terrorist registry established pursuant to the new article 6-D, created by this bill would add 23 new sections to the correction law, in a very similar legal construct to Megan's law. Such registry would: *Register Terrorists: -Convicted of a state or federal crime of terrorism, or -Who have committed a "Verifiable Act of Terrorism" causing the federal government to take concordant responsive action; *Contain Information on Terrorists who live, work or attend school in New York State, including: -Personal-biographical information; -Forensic information (DNA, fingerprints and annual photograph); -Incident information (on the terrorist's past acts); -Employment information (which also includes educational information for students); and -Verification information; *Be assembled and maintained by DCJS, in cooperation with other govern- ment agencies; *Have non confidential information available to the public via a DCJS website and phone number; *Have confidential information available to government certain agencies, such as the state police, FBI, DHSES and United States Department of Homeland Security; and *Would be financed by fees collected from registrants   OPERATION OF THE REGISTRY: This bill would require DCJS to assemble and maintain the New York State Terrorist Registry. Pursuant to its terms: *DCJS would be required to work with other state and federal agencies to assemble a list of persons ("terrorists") who have ever committed a state or federal crime of terrorism, or who have ever committed a "Veri- fiable Act of Terrorism" that caused the federal government to obtain a conviction or concordant administrative determination, and examine and determine which of such terrorists are, or will be, residing, working or attending an educational institution in New York; *DCJS would be further required to add such terrorists to the New York State Terrorist Registry, and send such persons a standardized registra- tion packet, that DCJS must produce, which notifies the terrorist of their obligation to register and verify, and provides for the collection of all the necessary registry information; *Upon being added to the registry, the terrorist would be required to complete and sign the standardized registration form, and appear either before their confinement entity (such as the Department of Corrections) or if they are not incarcerated, before the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction (such as their local police department) to submit to a photograph, fingerprinting and DNA test; and *DCJS would be additionally required to review the information gathered on the terrorist, and in consultation with DHSES and the state police, determine what of such information should be kept confidential for secu- rity reasons, and then provide for the public accessibility of such non confidential information (as enumerated by the bill) by means of a post- ing of the registry on the DCJS website and by means of a public caller telephone service, with all information deemed secure not being disclosed.   JUDICIAL REVIEW: Any terrorist who wishes to have their name removed from the registry can make an application before the supreme court of the county of residence, or if they are not a resident of New York, before the supreme court of the county of Albany.   FAILURE TO REGISTER AND/OR VERIFY: Any person who fails to register, provide the necessary registration information to DCJS, or fails to provide the necessary verification information to DCJS would be guilty of a violation of § 490.23 of the penal law, which would be a class A-1 felony.   JUSTIFICATION: This bill would require terrorists convicted of a state or federal crime of terrorism, or who have committed a "Verifiable Act of Terrorism" causing the federal government to take concordant, responsive action, to register with the Division of Criminal Justice Services, and have their non confidential information made publically available. Based upon the highly successful construct of New York's Sexual Offender Registration Act (Megan's Law) this bill seeks to monitor those individ- uals, who have demonstrated through their past actions, that they would commit an act of terrorism, so that through such monitoring, such persons will be discouraged and/or prevented from committing any new acts of terrorism, against the people and property of the state of New York. Any effective government program to combat terrorism must require prevention, response and recovery. None of these elements is more impor- tant than prevention. The same proven strategy of registering convicted sexual predators to protect children can be equally applied to register convicted terrorists to protect all the people of the state. Terrorists such as Al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have demonstrated their relentless, ferocious brutality over and over again They have repeatedly stated that they wish to see continued terrorist attacks in America and New York State. This bill would respond to New York State's first obligation as a government, to provide public protection for its citizens, and to do such in a manner that maintains essential freedoms and civil liberties of all people. Persons would be added to the New York State Terrorist Registry only after their past conduct resulted in a conviction for crime of terrorism or a federal action taken against them for committing a verifiable act of terrorism. Registrants can petition to the supreme court to have their name removed if such court finds that circumstances so justify the removal. The registration and verification is neither over-burdensome nor complex. Like the proven effectiveness of Megan's law, this bill would provide state and federal authorities with a powerful new tool to prevent future terrorist attacks, as well as provide terrorists with a serious disin- centive to commit another act of terrorism within New York State.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None noted.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.

     1    §  169-a.  Legislative  findings. The legislature finds and determines
     2  that terrorism is a serious threat to the public safety of the people of
     3  the state of New York.
     4    The  legislature  additionally  finds  and  determines, that it is the
     5  first responsibility  of  any  government  to  provide  for  the  public
     6  protection  and safety of its citizens, and that in order to assure such
     7  public protection and safety, New York must take active steps to advance
     8  a program of prevention of, response to, and  recovery  from,  terrorist
     9  attacks.

    11  program to prevent terrorist attacks, while still preserving the  essen-
    12  tial  civil liberties and freedoms that New York's citizens hold dear as
    13  an irreplaceable, foundational element of society, the state  must  take
    14  responsible  action to register those individuals, who have demonstrated
    15  through their past actions, that they would commit an act of terrorism.
    16    The legislature further finds and determines, that the purpose of  the
    17  New  York  state  terrorist  registry established by this article, is to
    18  monitor those individuals, who  have  demonstrated  through  their  past
    19  actions,  that  they  would  commit an act of terrorism, so that through
    20  such monitoring, such persons will be discouraged and/or prevented  from
    21  committing any new acts of terrorism, against the people and property of
    22  the state of New York.

    30  York,  and  that  a certification should be issued to add such person to
    31  the New York state terrorist registry. If the court issues  the  certif-
    32  ication  requested  under  this subdivision, then the division shall add
    33  such person to the New York state terrorist registry, and  provide  such
    34  person  with  notification in accordance with section one hundred sixty-
    35  nine-e of this article.
    36    (b) Appeals. The division may appeal any decision and/or  order  where
    37  the court denies a certification sought under this subdivision and fails
    38  to  direct  the  division  to  add  the person who is the subject of the
    39  application to the New York state terrorist registry. An appeal of  such
    40  denial  shall go, as of right, to the court of appeals, which shall hear
    41  such appeal within ninety days of the issuance of the  decision  or  the
    42  entry  of  the order denying the certification sought by the division in
    43  accordance with this subdivision, whichever is earlier. Any person  whom
    44  the  court  directs shall have their name added to the registry may also
    45  appeal such decision and/or order. An appeal  of  such  decision  and/or
    46  order  adding such person to the registry by the person whose name would
    47  be so added shall go, as of right, to  the  appellate  division  in  the
    48  department  in  which such person so resides, or if such person does not
    49  reside in New York state, to the appellate division of the third depart-
    50  ment, which such appellate division shall hear such appeal within ninety
    51  days of the issuance of the decision or the entry of the  order  issuing
    52  the  certification  sought in accordance with this section, whichever is
    53  earlier.
    54    3. Application to remove a person from the registry. Any person  added
    55  by  the  division  to  the New York state terrorist registry may seek an
    56  order of  the supreme court in the county where such registrant resides,

        A. 6129--C                         18
 
     1  or the supreme court of the county of Albany if such registrant does not
     2  reside in the state of New York, to  have  their  name  and  information
     3  removed from the registry as follows:
     4    (a)  Grounds  for order of removal. That in order to issue an order to
     5  remove the registrant and their information  from  the  New  York  state
     6  terrorist registry, the court must find considerable grounds that:
     7    (i)  the  nature  and circumstances of the offense or incident causing
     8  the person to be defined as a terrorist does not merit the person's name
     9  and information being added to the registry;
    10    (ii) the history and character of  such  person  does  not  merit  the
    11  person's name and information being added to the registry;
    12    (iii) the division, in adding such person's name to the registry acted
    13  in  an  arbitrary  and  capricious  manner,  failed  to  comply with the
    14  provisions of this article and/or the past actions and current  behavior
    15  of the registrant does not merit his or her registration for any reason;
    16  and
    17    (iv) the court is of the opinion that such registration would be undu-
    18  ly harsh and inappropriate.
    19    (b)  Removal of person from the registry. That where the supreme court
    20  finds the considerable grounds required in paragraph (a) of this  subdi-
    21  vision,  and  issues an order to remove a person from the New York state
    22  terrorist registry, the division shall, in accordance  with  this  para-
    23  graph and paragraph (c) of this subdivision, remove such person from the
    24  registry,  and  provide  such  person with notification of their removal
    25  from the registry.
    26    (c) Appeals. The division may appeal any decision and/or  order  where
    27  the  court  directs  the  division  to remove a person from the New York
    28  state terrorist registry. An appeal of such decision and/or order  shall
    29  go,  as  of  right, to the court of appeals which shall hear such appeal
    30  within ninety days of the issuance of the decision or the entry  of  the
    31  order  directing  the  division to remove such person from the registry,
    32  whichever is earlier.  Where the division appeals an order to  remove  a
    33  person  from  the  New York state terrorist registry, such removal shall
    34  not be performed by the division until the final appeal  is  decided  in
    35  favor  of  the person seeking such removal. Any person to whom the court
    36  denies a petition to have their name removed from  the  New  York  state
    37  terrorist registry may also appeal such decision and/or order. An appeal
    38  of such decision and/or order denying the petition to remove such person
    39  from the registry by the person seeking to have their name removed shall
    40  go,  as  of  right, to the appellate division in the department in which
    41  such person so resides, or if such person does not reside  in  New  York
    42  state,  to  the  appellate  division of the third department, which such
    43  appellate division shall hear such appeal  within  ninety  days  of  the
    44  issuance  of  the  decision  or  entry of the order denying the petition
    45  sought in accordance with this section, whichever is earlier.
    46    § 169-j. Responsibilities of a confinement entity prior  to  discharge
    47  of  a terrorist.   1. Notification of the division. For every terrorist,
    48  as defined in subdivision one of section  one  hundred  sixty-nine-b  of
    49  this  article, within its custody, the confinement entity, as defined in

    51  cle, shall notify the division, in a form and manner provided for by the
    52  division,  of  certain information on such terrorist, including, but not
    53  limited to, the terrorist's name, the address of the terrorist prior  to

     2  this article, or if the confinement entity takes custody of such terror-

    10  article, shall inform such terrorist of their  duty  and  obligation  to
    11  register  under  this  article. Such notification shall be in a form and
    12  manner provided by the division. The failure of the division, or of  the
    13  confinement  entity,  to  provide,  or  the  failure of the terrorist to
    14  receive, such notice, shall not relieve the terrorist of any duty and/or
    15  obligation under this article. The notification required by this  subdi-
    16  vision  shall  take place not less than sixty calendar days prior to the
    17  release, discharge, parole, release to post-release supervision  or  any

    19  entity, but in the event the confinement entity is unable to notify  the
    20  terrorist  at least sixty days prior to such release, discharge, parole,

    27  their custody who has not previously registered with the New York  state
    28  terrorist  registry with a registration packet as defined in subdivision
    29  one of section one hundred sixty-nine-e of this article, as provided  by
    30  the  division,  and  shall  further arrange to have such packet read and
    31  explained to the terrorist, and  after  such  reading  and  explanation,
    32  shall additionally require the terrorist to:
    33    (a)  Complete  and  sign  the standardized registration form contained
    34  within such registration packet;

    42  provide any other release for any terrorist required to  register  under
    43  this  article, who has not previously registered with the New York state
    44  terrorist registry, without  first  obtaining  a  completed  and  signed

    50  the initial photograph, the complete set of fingerprints,  and  the  DNA
    51  sample  from  the terrorist in accordance with subdivision three of this

    53  before the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction for the collection
    54  of the initial photograph, the complete set of fingerprints, and the DNA
    55  sample, but shall not relieve such terrorist from  their  duty  to  pay,
