It is nice to know that New York State has solved all their real problems like government corruption so Cuomo makes this his keynote issue in the State of the State address.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo formally proposed banning certain sex offenders from the subway system during his annual State of the State Address Wednesday.
Cuomo had discussed the sex-offender ban multiple times last year, and he again described the concept as he listed several major transit infrastructure projects that he would like the state to pursue.
“Subway cars should not be feeding grounds for predators,” Cuomo said. People should be able to take public transportation “without being harassed, without being molested and without being groped,” he said.
The proposal would prevent “high-risk” sex offenders from using the subway system for up to three years, according to the governor’s office. The state would also establish a new law for transit-related sex crimes and would enable judges to ban convicted defendants from using MTA transportation. Convicted offenders who violate their suspension could be charged with a transit trespass misdemeanor, the governor’s office said.
The Legal Aid Society has already pledged to fight the proposal in court if it became law, stating that the legislation would restrict “access to jobs, critical services, educational opportunities and treatment programs” for people convicted of sex crimes.
“We question the constitutionality of this misguided proposal and we are prepared to challenge it in court should it become law,” the public defender organization said in a statement.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – As a part of the 2020 State of the State address, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed legislation to prevent sexual predators from using new social media.
The new legislation would force sexual predators to disclose their screen names for each social media account or dating/gaming app they are on to the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Current laws only require sex offenders to register and keep up to date all current email accounts, screen names and any other internet identifiers with the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
DCJS will send their list to any provider that the offender discloses, and the provider will be required to review this data, develop policies on how to use it, and release this policy publicly to their users.
The new legislation would also make it a crime for convicted sex offenders to misrepresent themselves online.
