Bill Summary

This bill requires county and municipal law enforcement agencies to report to the State Police every 180 days a list of registered sex offenders who fail to verify their address as required by Megan's Law. Under Megan's Law, repetitive and compulsive sex offenders are required to verify their addresses with the appropriate law enforcement agency every 90 days. All other offenders are required to annually verify their addresses. As part of the verification process, a sex offender is required to provide any additional information the Attorney General may require, which may include information on co-habitants, occupation, length of employment, whether the offender is in therapy, and whether the offender has Internet access. This bill requires the State Police to biannually report to the Legislature the number of persons who have failed to verify their address and the offenses for which they were required to register.

AI Summary

This bill requires county and municipal law enforcement agencies to report to the State Police every 180 days a list of registered sex offenders who fail to verify their addresses as mandated by Megan's Law, which requires certain sex offenders to periodically confirm their residency with law enforcement. Under Megan's Law, some offenders must verify their addresses every 90 days, while others must do so annually. The bill then mandates that the State Police will biannually report to the Legislature the total number of individuals who have failed to verify their addresses and the specific offenses for which they are registered sex offenders.
