Bill > HB3049

This bill modifies provisions related to the sex offender registry by updating definitions, registration requirements, and procedures for removal or exemption from the registry. It clarifies what constitutes an "adjudication" for registration purposes, introduces new definitions for "tier I," "tier II," and "tier III" offenders, and specifies the offenses that fall into each tier. The bill also adjusts the frequency of registration appearances for different offender tiers, expands the types of temporary residences and online identifiers that must be reported, and clarifies the process for individuals with out-of-state offenses to petition for removal from the Missouri registry. Additionally, it outlines specific criteria for a court to grant removal or exemption from registration, including requirements for completing sex offender treatment programs and demonstrating no ongoing threat to public safety, while also making certain registration information publicly accessible online and through local law enforcement.
