What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person must register with the Department of Corrections

as a sex offender if he or she has been convicted of certain sex offenses or found not

guilty of certain sex offenses by reason of mental disease or defect. The length of time

that the person must register varies depending on the offense or the number of

convictions or findings.

This bill adds keeping a place of prostitution to the list of sex offenses for which

a person must register as a sex offender.
