Comments
This is a SMART Bill.
It allows for people with similar convictions to certain Virginia crimes to petition for removal from the Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry who can not petition today.
Currently Virginia penalizes out-of-state, foreign country, military and Tribe convicted RSO's who are listed on the VSP SO Registry, this Bill makes everyone equal as it should have been from day one.
Let's just hope the VSP Legislative Liaisons don't oppose it.
