SB 666

Under current law, the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the

Juvenile Justice Code (juvenile court) must order a juvenile who has been

adjudicated delinquent for committing certain sex offenses to register with the

Department of Corrections (DOC) as a sex offender, if the victim was a minor and the

juvenile was not the victim's parent, unless the juvenile court determines that the

juvenile is not required to register under the exception in the sex offender

registration law for certain underage sexual activity. Current law also permits the

juvenile court to order a juvenile who has been adjudicated delinquent or found to

be in need of protection or services on the basis of a crime against life or bodily

security, a crime against sexual morality, a crime against children, certain crimes

against property, or invasion of privacy to register with DOC as a sex offender if the

juvenile court determines that the underlying conduct was sexually motivated and

that it would be in the interest of public protection to have the juvenile register as

a sex offender.

This bill requires the juvenile court to order DOC, a county department of

human services or social services, or other agency primarily responsible for

providing services under a juvenile court order requiring a juvenile to register as a

sex offender to assess or provide for an assessment of the probability that the juvenile

will commit other violations triggering the sex offender registration requirement

and to consider the results of the assessment in determining the services to be

provided under the juvenile court order.
