What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
