Description
Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Makes numerous changes to the provisions governing the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. The bill changes the number of classifications of offenders who are required to register under the Registry to match the number of classifications under federal law and redesignates the classifications as Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III offenses. The bill also streamlines the reregistration process, eliminates the need for lower-level offenders to reregister annually, and allows offenders to electronically verify their registration information.
