Bill > HB1469

This bill amends the Sex Offender Registration Act to expand the definition of "sex offense" to include additional human trafficking-related crimes. Specifically, the bill adds three new offenses to the list of sex offenses that require sex offender registration: involuntary servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in persons. By including these offenses, the bill ensures that individuals convicted of these human trafficking crimes will be required to register as sex offenders, which means they must provide their personal information to local law enforcement agencies and update their registration when they move, work, or attend school. This expansion of the definition reflects a growing recognition of the serious nature of human trafficking and its potential for sexual exploitation, particularly of minors. The bill aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals convicted of these offenses are tracked and monitored in a manner similar to other sex offenders.
