RELATING TO COVERED OFFENDER REGISTRATION.

What it does

Official summary

Amends covered offender registration laws by expanding the definition of "sexual offense" to include additional sexual offenses from the Penal Code. Provides that the exception to covered offender registry public access requirements for a first-time misdemeanor offense does not apply when the covered offense was committed against a minor. Clarifies that a person who is required to report their location of residence in person every year under the covered offender registration requirements shall report during the thirty-day period following the offender's birthday, rather than from the offender's actual date of birth.

More detail

Specifies how certain covered offenses are to be tiered for purposes of seeking termination of registration requirements. (CD1)
