Bill Information

Presenter:
Michael O. Moore
Status:
Referred to Senate Committee on Ways and Means
This legislation mandates that Sex Offender Registry Board and the State Police establish a memorandum of understanding to identify and locate offenders who failed to comply or could not be notified. The bill also requires the state police file an arrest warrant for any offender who violates the reporting requirements and expands the reporting requirements to include the state police and departments where the offender previously lived and worked. Finally, the bill also creates a new category of offenders, to be known as “Level Zero”, to be used to identify offenders who are appealing their classification. This would include individuals who avoid the notification efforts to delay their classification.
