On July 12, 2010, Schumer visited Goulds park in Dobbs Ferry to discuss his attempts on the federal level to plug a gaping hole in current sex offender laws. Joined by Laura Ahern, the Executive Director of Parents for Megan's Law, Senator Schumer announced legislation that would amend current federal law to prevent explicitly convicted and registered sex offenders from accepting paid or volunteer employment positions which by their inherent nature places an individual in direct and substantial contact with minors. The current law, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, leaves sex offender employment decisions up to the states.
