Bill > H1153

This bill requires prosecutors to inform victims of their right to submit a written impact statement to the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB), which is a state agency responsible for managing information about sex offenders. This statement would be considered when determining the classification of a convicted sex offender, as outlined in a specific section of state law (section 178K(1)(k) of chapter 6). Additionally, if a victim specifically requests it from SORB, the board must provide the victim with information about the sex offender's registration and classification status, as well as their addresses for where they live, work, or attend school, regardless of the offender's registration or classification level.
