Bill > SB162

This bill amends Delaware's sex offender registration law to require sex offenders to disclose whether children reside in their current or anticipated residences when completing registration forms and when updating their registration information. Specifically, the bill mandates that registration forms now include a section where sex offenders must identify any children living in their residences, and when sex offenders change their address, they must also disclose the presence of children at that location. Additionally, the bill allows law enforcement agencies to notify non-custodial parents if a sex offender identifies their child as living in the offender's residence. These provisions aim to enhance public safety by providing more comprehensive information about sex offenders' living situations and potential proximity to children. The changes apply to the existing sex offender registration requirements under Title 11, Chapter 41, Subchapter III of the Delaware Code, and are designed to give parents and authorities more insight into the potential risks posed by registered sex offenders.
