Bill > H1417

This bill aims to further regulate sex offender registration in the 21st century. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Defining "electronic alias, address, and domain" to include any electronic mail, website registrations, messaging and chat service aliases, websites, and domains personally owned or operated by a third party for the purpose of displaying, soliciting, or posting information associated with web-based applications, databases, or personal computer aliases. 2. Requiring sex offenders to report all electronic aliases, addresses, and domains in addition to their name when registering or updating their registration information. 3. Imposing penalties for failing to provide notice of a change or addition of an electronic alias, address, or domain. 4. Requiring the inclusion of sex offenders' electronic aliases, addresses, and domains in various public and law enforcement notification and registry requirements. The bill seeks to modernize sex offender registration laws by addressing the use of electronic identities and online presence, which can be used to evade detection or continue illicit activities.
