The bill specifies that the Database will be available to the public on the Department of State Police's website. The bill provides that any person whose information is on the Database may petition for removal of such information from the Database if certain requirements are met and that the State Police shall include such petition information on the Database website. Under the bill, the Superintendent of State Police is required to complete the Database by July 1, 2027.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Superintendent of State Police to create a public Domestic and Sexual Assault Conviction Database by July 1, 2027, which will list individuals convicted of certain offenses against a family or household member, or an "intimate partner" (defined as someone in a romantic, dating, or sexual relationship within the last 12 months), including their name, birth year, physical description, photograph, conviction details, and punishment. The bill also outlines a process for individuals to petition a court to have their information removed from the database if their conviction has been expunged or if they have had no further qualifying convictions in seven years, and all court-ordered obligations have been met, with the State Police required to post information on this removal process on their website.
