AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to laws concerning sex offenses and offenders, including allowing out-of-court statements from child victims aged 16 or younger (instead of 11 or younger) to be admissible in court under certain reliability conditions, and it updates the definition of "Internet identifier" to encompass various online communication names, with voluntary disclosure of personal information like birthdates waiving its exemption. It also expands the list of offenses that qualify an individual as a sexual predator, increases penalties for repeat indecent exposure violations, and mandates that defendants required to register as sexual offenders or predators be held without bail until their first court appearance, with a limited exception. Furthermore, the bill revises the criteria for removing the requirement to register as a sexual offender or predator, modifies the definition of a "risk assessment," and allows courts to order sexual offenders and predators on probation or community control to undergo evaluations to determine their need for specialized treatment.
