Bill > SB620

This bill amends existing Wisconsin statutes to address situations where individuals registered as sex offenders are unable to provide a fixed address. Specifically, it modifies section 301.45 by adding a provision that requires such individuals, if they are on parole or extended supervision (periods of conditional release after serving part of a sentence), to notify the department within 24 hours of becoming unable to provide an address. Furthermore, it creates a new provision in section 301.48 stating that if a person required to report under section 301.45, but not already subject to tracking under this new section, is unable to provide an address, the department will be required to track them using a passive positioning system. This means that for sex offenders who are not currently being actively monitored by GPS or similar technology but become homeless or otherwise unable to provide a residence, the state will now implement a tracking method to monitor their location.
