ALTHOUGH DEFENDANT WAS NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER UNDER THE LAW OF WASHINGTON STATE, NEW YORK LAW PROPERLY REQUIRED REGISTRATION, FULL FAITH AND CREDIT CLAUSE NOT VIOLATED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined the fact that defendant was not required to register as a sex offender under the law of Washington state did not affect the requirement that he register in New York. The Full Faith and Credit Clause was not implicated:

​

Defendant argues that requiring him to register in New York when a Washington court order relieved him of the obligation to register in that state violates the Full Faith and Credit Clause (see US Const, art IV, § 1). However, this clause is designed “to avoid conflicts between [s]tates in adjudicating the same matters” … and “is not implicated where the issue decided by a court in [another] state is different from the issue being decided by a New York court” … . Here, Washington and New York have each separately adjudicated the risks posed by defendant to their respective citizens, and each state has imposed sex offender registration requirements pursuant to the governing sex offender registration laws in each state and, accordingly, neither state has adjudicated the “same matter” in violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause .., .

… [F]ull faith and credit principles do not require New York to assign an offender the same risk level as that imposed by the jurisdiction where the conviction occurred … . …

… [Because] each state is assessing the risks posed to its own citizens and vulnerable populations and applying its own registration laws, the courts are not adjudicating the “same matters” in violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause … . People v Hlatky, 2017 NY Slip Op 06693, Third Dept 9-28-17
