AI Summary

Specifically, it defines a "sexually violent predator" as someone convicted of a sexually violent offense who suffers from a mental abnormality or personality disorder making them likely to commit further such offenses. It also requires these offenders to appear in person at their local police department every 90 days to verify their registration information. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual audit of the state's Sex Offender Registry Board to examine various aspects of their operations.
