Under this bill, if the person is serving a sentence for certain crimes against life and bodily security or crimes against a child, DOC is required to provide certain identifying information about the person in the notice to the local police and county sheriff and, upon request, to certain community organizations. Under the bill, the local police chief and county sheriff are required to release the information to the public, unless the person who is the subject of the notice is a child.
