Bill Summary
Relative to prohibiting registered sex offenders from changing names. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits registered sex offenders from changing their names. Specifically, it amends the existing law to state that a registered sex offender must use the same name they registered under and cannot hold themselves out under any other name. It also adds a provision to the criminal penalties section for failing to comply with this name change restriction. Additionally, the bill prohibits a party to a marriage who is a registered sex offender from adopting or using any other surname than the one they are required to register under, and it prohibits courts from granting a change of name for a person listed on the sex offender registry.
