Bill Summary
Relative to reclassification of sex offenders by the Sex Offender Registry Board. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to shift the burden of proof for offender-initiated motions for reclassification of sex offenders by the Sex Offender Registry Board. Under the proposed change, the burden of proof would be on the sex offender to clearly and convincingly demonstrate that their risk of re-offense and degree of dangerousness to the public have decreased since their final classification. The board would be allowed to consider information used in prior classification decisions when making this determination.
