Bill Summary
Under current law, a person must register with the Department of Corrections as a sex offender if he or she has been convicted of certain sex offenses or found not guilty of certain sex offenses by reason of mental disease or defect. The length of time that the person must register varies depending on the offense or the number of convictions or findings. This bill adds keeping a place of prostitution to the list of sex offenses for which a person must register as a sex offender.
AI Summary
This bill amends Wisconsin law to require individuals convicted of certain crimes to register as sex offenders with the Department of Corrections, a process that currently applies to those convicted of specific sex offenses or found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, with registration lengths varying based on the offense or conviction history. Specifically, this bill adds the crime of "keeping a place of prostitution" to the list of offenses that trigger this mandatory sex offender registration requirement, meaning individuals found guilty of this offense will now be subject to the same registration rules as those convicted of other listed sex crimes.
