Bill > SB0133

This bill amends Utah law regarding the Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse offender registry, primarily by adjusting the duration of registration requirements for certain offenses and clarifying who is subject to registration. Specifically, it modifies the existing law to define which offenses require a 10-year registration period and which mandate lifetime registration, including attempts, solicitations, or conspiracies to commit these offenses. The bill also introduces a provision allowing individuals convicted of offenses requiring lifetime registration, who were under 21 at the time of the offense and where the offense did not involve force or coercion, to petition the court to have their registration period reduced to 10 years, with the court considering factors like the victim's age and vulnerability. Furthermore, it clarifies that individuals convicted of registrable offenses committed when they were under 18 are not subject to registration unless they are charged in juvenile court, bound over to district court, and convicted of a registrable offense. The bill also addresses individuals registered in other jurisdictions, requiring them to register for the period mandated by that external jurisdiction. Finally, it sets an effective date for these changes.
