Section 149. Released inmates; notification to sheriff, police, and district attorney

In  the case of any inmate convicted of a felony, it shall be  the duty of the department at  least  forty-eight  hours  prior  to  the
  release  of  any  such inmate from a correctional facility to notify the
  chief of police both of the city, town or village in which  such  inmate
  proposes to reside and of the city, town or village in which such inmate
  resided  at  the time of his or her conviction and the district attorney
  of the county where the offense for which the inmate is incarcerated was
  prosecuted, of the contemplated release of such inmate,  informing  such
  chief of police and the district attorney of the name and aliases of the
  inmate, the address at which he or she proposes to reside, the amount of
  time  remaining  to  be served, if any, on the full term for which he or
  she was sentenced, and the nature of the crime for which he or  she  was
  sentenced,  transmitting  at the same time to the chief of police a copy
  of such inmate's fingerprints and photograph. Where such inmate proposes
  to reside outside of a city, such notification  shall  be  sent  to  the
  sheriff  of  the  county  in  which such inmate proposes to reside. Such
  notification may be provided by electronic transmission to those willing
  jurisdictions  that  have  the  capability   of   receiving   electronic
  transmission  notification.  Any chief of police or sheriff who receives
  notification of a released inmate pursuant to this section  may  request
  and  receive  from  the  division  of criminal justice services a report
  containing a summary of such inmate's criminal record.
