Bill > H837

This bill amends a provision in Massachusetts law regarding the registration requirements for sex offenders who move into the state from another jurisdiction. The key changes are that such sex offenders must register within two days of moving into the state by mailing a registration form to the state's Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB). The registration information is then transmitted to the local police department where the offender intends to live and work, as well as any institutions of higher learning the offender plans to work or study at, and to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Additionally, if the out-of-state sex offender is granted a hearing to challenge their classification, SORB will continue to transmit the most current registration and classification data to the relevant law enforcement agencies.
