Bill > SB0267

This bill amends the Sex Offender Registration Act to expand the definition of "sex offense" to include specific human trafficking-related crimes. Specifically, the bill adds three new types of offenses that would require sex offender registration: (1) involuntary servitude, but only when the offense involves commercial sexual activity, sexually explicit performances, or other sexual services; (2) involuntary sexual servitude of a minor; and (3) trafficking in persons, but only when the offense involves commercial sexual activity, sexually explicit performances, or other sexual services. These additions aim to ensure that individuals who commit human trafficking offenses with a sexual component are required to register as sex offenders. The bill modifies the existing Sex Offender Registration Act by inserting these new provisions into the definition of sex offenses, which means that individuals convicted of these specific types of human trafficking crimes would be subject to the same registration requirements as those convicted of traditional sexual offenses. This change reflects a broader recognition of the sexual exploitation inherent in certain forms of human trafficking and seeks to provide additional protection and tracking of such offenders.
