    12  device in any way, nor may they allow another person to tamper with such
    13  device.  A  person  who  is  caught tampering with an electronic tagging
    14  device shall be guilty of a class E felony.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  apply  to  any
    16  person  who  is  required  to  register  pursuant  to article 6-C of the
    17  correction law on or after such effective date.
