What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Corrections is required to notify the local

police and county sheriff whenever a person is released from prison and will be living,

working, or attending school in that police's or sheriff's jurisdiction. 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.
