Bill > A3110

Introduced Session

This bill increases the penalty for failing to register as a sex offender or providing false information to law enforcement authorities for two or more years. Under current law, sex offenders are required to register with an appropriate law enforcement agency. The registrant is required to provide his or her name, social security number, age, race, sex, date of birth, height, weight, hair and eye color, address of legal residence, address of current temporary residence, and date and place of employment. A sex offender who fails to register, provides false information concerning his or her place of residence, or fails to verify his or her address is guilty of a crime of the third degree. Failure to notify law enforcement of a change of address, employment, or school enrollment status also is a crime of the third degree. Third degree crimes are punishable by a term of imprisonment of three to five years, a fine of up to $15,000, or both. This bill establishes a second degree crime for a sex offender who for more than two years fails to register, fails to verify the correct address, or provides false information to law enforcement. A crime of the second degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of five to 10 years, a maximum fine of $150,000, or both.
