Bill > SB134

This bill modifies several provisions related to sexual offender registration, school proximity restrictions, and victim rights in Missouri. Specifically, the bill creates new restrictions for certain registered sex offenders, particularly those classified as tier III offenders, who will now be prohibited from being present in or near schools when minors are present, regardless of parental status. The bill also modifies the sexual offender registry requirements, expanding the list of offenses that require registration and changing reporting frequencies for different tiers of offenders. For tier III sexual offenders, the bill adds a mandatory lifetime electronic monitoring requirement. Additionally, the bill expands victim rights, including a new provision allowing victims under 19 years old to appear by video during depositions, hearings, and other legal proceedings. The changes aim to enhance public safety by increasing restrictions on sex offenders and providing more comprehensive support and participation options for crime victims, particularly those who are minors.
