Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, a person must register 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. The sex offender registry is maintained by the
department of corrections (DOC). A person who is required to register as a sex
offender or an agency that has supervision over the person (either DOC or the
department of health and family services) must provide specific information for the
registry within a certain period of time, depending on the person's status. The
information that must be provided includes information concerning the person's
offense, the person's address and place of employment and the make, model and
license number of the person's motor vehicle. The person must also provide updated
information if the information changes.
This bill makes the following changes in current law relating to providing
information for the sex offender registry:

1. If a person who is required to register is being released from a prison sentence
and is being placed on parole or extended supervision, the person or the agency
supervising the person shall provide information for the registry before the person
is released. Currently, information concerning a person being placed on parole or
extended supervision must be provided within ten days after the person is released.
2. If a person who is required to register is on probation, parole or extended
supervision from another state, the person or the agency supervising the person shall
provide information for the registry before the person enters this state. Currently,
information concerning a person who is on probation or parole from another state
must be provided within ten days after the person enters this state.
3. If the address of a person on parole or extended supervision who is registered
as a sex offender will be changing, the person must provide DOC with his or her new
address before the change in address occurs. Currently, if there is a change in any
of the information provided to DOC for the sex offender registry, the person must
provide DOC with the updated information within ten days after the change occurs.
In addition, the bill prohibits a person on parole or extended supervision who
is required to register as a sex offender from establishing a residence or changing his
or her residence unless he or she has registered, as required, with DOC and, if the
person is changing residence, has provided DOC with updated information
concerning his or her new residence. A person who violates this prohibition may be
fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than nine months or both.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
