What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who has been convicted of certain sex offenses, found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect of certain sex offenses, or found to be a sexually violent person must register with the Department of Corrections as a sex offender, and certain of these registrants are tracked using a global positioning system monitored by DOC. Current law requires all registrants to provide an address. Under this bill, if a registrant is unable to provide an address, the registrant must be tracked using a GPS system monitored by DOC.
