It requires sex offenders to notify the Sex Offender Registry Board within 7 days of changing their name, and imposes penalties of up to 2.5 years in prison or a $1,000 fine for failing to do so.

The Board may also notify other entities authorized to receive sex offender registration information about the name change, and local police departments must do so as well.
