Bill > HB3068

This bill modifies provisions related to the sex offender registry in Missouri by updating definitions, reporting requirements for criminal history information, and the procedures for sex offender registration, notification, and removal. Key changes include redefining terms like "adjudicated" and "sex offense" to align with federal standards, establishing a tiered system (Tier I, II, and III) for offenders, and clarifying registration requirements for individuals, including those with temporary residences or who work or attend school in Missouri. The bill also revises the process for petitioning to be removed from the registry, outlines specific criteria for exemption and removal, and adjusts the frequency of required in-person appearances and photograph updates based on the offender's tier. Additionally, it clarifies which information is considered public record versus confidential and modifies how criminal history information is collected and disseminated by law enforcement agencies and courts.
