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.
