SB 231

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.
