Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 45-33-23, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Revise The Definition Of The Term "sex Offense" Within The Chapter Of Law Governing The Registration Of Sex Offenders To Include A Conviction Of Incest; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to expand the definition of "sex offense" for the purposes of sex offender registration to include convictions for incest, specifically referencing Section 97-29-5 (relating to incest) and Section 97-29-27 (relating to incestuous marriages). This means that individuals convicted of these incest-related crimes will now be subject to the state's sex offender registration requirements, which involve providing personal information, photographs, and fingerprints to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. The bill also clarifies that a "conviction" includes a determination or judgment of guilt from a trial or a guilty or nolo contendere plea, regardless of whether adjudication was withheld, and it outlines various "jurisdictions" and "responsible agencies" involved in the registration process.
