AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to provide legal counsel and expert witness fees for indigent sex offenders challenging their classification and duty to register. It establishes a process for the Sex Offender Registry Board to notify offenders of their classification, give them the opportunity to submit evidence and request a hearing, and then provide a final classification determination. The bill also allows offenders to seek judicial review of the Board's final decision, with the Board able to defend its decision in court.
