Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Sections 45-33-25, 45-33-27, 45-33-29, 45-33-32 And 45-33-35, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require A Sex Offender Registrant To Provide All Required Information For Registration And Re-registration To The Sheriff Of The County In Which He Or She Resides Within A Certain Time Frame; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires individuals convicted of sex offenses to register not only with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and other designated agencies but also with the sheriff of the county where they reside, within specific timeframes after establishing residency or returning to a county. This means that in addition to the existing registration requirements, sex offender registrants must now also provide all necessary registration and re-registration information directly to their local county sheriff. The bill amends several sections of Mississippi law to incorporate this dual registration requirement, ensuring that local law enforcement is directly informed of the presence of registered sex offenders within their jurisdiction.
