What it would have done

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 must provide the general public with Internet access to certain information on the registry, such as a registrant's name, physical description, address, and crime that subjects the registrant to the requirement to register. This bill requires the registry to include, and make available to the general public, any sex offense that was dismissed as part of a plea agreement if the court ordered the offender to register and all addresses at which a registrant will reside. In addition, the general public Internet site must indicate all addresses for each entry in the sex offender register, whether the entry is a registrant's name or an alias a registrant uses.

Under current law, when a registrant is released into the community from confinement or other care, DOC or the Department of Health Services (DHS), whichever agency has authority over the registrant, has the option to notify the police chief of the community, and the sheriff of the county, in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending school if the registrant has been convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental defect or disease, of a sex offense only one time and must notify the police chief of the community, and the sheriff of the county, in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending school or through which the registrant will be traveling if the registrant has been, on two or more occasions, convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, of a sex offense or if the registrant has been found to be a sexually violent person. The notification must include the registrant's residential address. This bill requires DOC or DHS, if the agency provided notice, to notify the same persons if the registrant moves.
