Bill > HB2014

This bill modifies the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry registration requirements by changing the verification intervals for different tiers of offenders. Specifically, persons convicted of Tier I or Tier II offenses will now be required to verify their registration information yearly, with the verification occurring during their birth month. Additionally, individuals convicted of providing false information or failing to provide registration information who are on the Registry for a Tier II offense will be required to verify their information twice a year. The bill also adds flexibility by allowing the State Police to provide electronic verification options through regulations. The verification process involves confirming current physical, mailing, and electronic contact information with the State Police, and individuals will continue to be divided into two groups (those with last names A-L and M-Z) for staggered verification periods. This change aims to improve tracking and monitoring of sex offenders by ensuring more frequent and consistent registration updates.
