Bill > HF932

This bill requires all Level III predatory offenders to be placed on intensive supervised release with mandatory electronic surveillance throughout their entire supervised release, conditional release, or parole term. Level III predatory offenders are sex offenders considered to pose the highest risk to public safety. The bill amends existing law to explicitly mandate electronic monitoring for these offenders and outlines specific conditions of release, including unannounced searches, random drug testing, house arrest, daily curfews, frequent agent contacts, and work or treatment requirements. Before release, offenders must ensure their residence and telecommunications systems are properly configured to support electronic surveillance. The bill also prohibits these offenders from accessing social networking websites, instant messaging, or chat room platforms that allow minors to participate, with potential modifications only if approved by their supervision agent. Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of funds to the commissioner of corrections to implement these new requirements, with the changes set to take effect on August 1, 2025, applying to offenders placed on intensive supervised release on or after that date. The goal is to enhance public safety by providing closer monitoring of high-risk sex offenders during their community supervision.
