AB323,1,2
1An Act to create 301.45 (2) (a) 6m. of the statutes;
relating to: information
2provided by a person required to register as a sex offender.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person must register with the Department of Corrections
(DOC) as a sex offender if he or she has been convicted of certain sex offenses, found
not guilty of certain sex offenses by reason of mental disease or defect, or adjudicated
delinquent on the basis of certain sex offenses.
DOC may require a person registered as a sex offender to provide DOC with his
or her fingerprints, a recent photograph, and certain other information including the
address at which he or she is or will be residing, the name and address of the place
at which he or she is or will be employed, and the name and location of any school
in which he or she is or will be enrolled. If any information contained in DOC's
registry of sex offenders changes, the registrant must provide DOC with the updated
information within ten days after the change occurs, except that, if the registrant is
on parole or extended supervision and the registrant knows that the address of his
or her residence will be changing, the registrant must provide DOC with the updated
information before the change in address occurs, or, if the registrant did not know
that his or her address would be changing, the registrant must provide DOC with
that updated information within 24 hours after the change in address occurs.
Under this bill, a person who is required to register with DOC as a sex offender
must provide, and update, his or her e-mail accounts, the Internet address of every
Web site or Internet profile he or she creates or maintains, and all Internet user
names he or she uses.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
