§ 240.48 Disseminating a false registered sex offender notice.
  A person is guilty of disseminating a false  registered  sex  offender
notice when, knowing the information he or she disseminates or causes to
be  disseminated  to  be  false or baseless, such person disseminates or
causes to be disseminated any notice which purports to  be  an  official
notice  from  a  government  agency or a law enforcement agency and such
notice asserts that an individual is a registered sex offender.
  Disseminating a false registered sex offender  notice  is  a  class  A
misdemeanor.
