Bill > HB1765

This bill modifies provisions relating to the sexual offender registry. The key changes include: 1. Allowing certain sexual offenders to petition for removal from the registry after specified time periods, with exceptions for certain more serious offenses and offenders. The petition process requires meeting certain criteria and involves the prosecutor and victim. 2. Updating the requirements for sexual offenders to report changes in their information, such as residence, employment, and online identifiers, to the authorities within a specified timeframe. 3. Revising the tiers of sexual offenders and the reporting requirements for each tier, such as more frequent in-person reporting for higher-tier offenders. 4. Expanding the list of offenses that require registration as a tier I, II, or III sexual offender, including additional sexual and non-sexual crimes with a sexual element. The bill aims to streamline the administration of the sexual offender registry and update the requirements for offenders based on the severity of their crimes.
