Bill > S841

This bill requires registered sex offenders to notify the board, which is likely a state agency responsible for managing sex offender registries, within 7 days of any name change, and failure to do so could result in up to 2.5 years in jail or a $1,000 fine. The bill also mandates that the board promptly inform various law enforcement agencies, including local police departments in areas where the offender is registered to live, work, or attend school, as well as where an offense occurred, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), about the name change. Additionally, the board and local police departments are authorized to share this name change information with other government entities, institutions, or the public, as permitted by existing law, which likely refers to public access to sex offender registry information.
