NY: New town law sets limit on number of registered sex offenders who can stay at a hotel or motel

The Herkimer, NY town board adopted a new law setting a limit on the number of registered sex offenders who can stay at a hotel or motel at one time, based on a point system.

Town Attorney Christopher Bray explained that a registered Level 1 sex offender is assigned one point, a Level 2 offender is assigned two points, a Level 3 offender three points, etc. Under the new law, a hotel or motel with a capacity of fewer than 50 people is limited to four points.

Bray said he discussed the point system with the Colonie town attorney, asking if that town’s system had ever been challenged in court. He was told the law had been successful in limiting the number of sex offenders and there had been no challenges to the system.

    On another page recently I mentioned about a Lenexa Kansas Unitarian Church that had filled a law suit against the city for refusing the allow them to practice there religion by running a homeless shelter. Update. The Church won a Judge told the City to straighten the matter out.
    The City paid $15,000 in Attorney fees ,gave them a permit to operate the shelter till 2022 , giving the City time to change there laws.

    Herkimer is a $hith0le outside Utica. This is why South Florida is so fu¢ked up. Too many migrant New Yorkers trying to turn it into the $hith0le they left.

    Why the need for a point value if under 50? Also, does this mean no RSO can stay there if there’s 50+?
