HB 1044 Sex Offenders and Crimes Against Minors Registry; registration requirements.

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Sex Offender Registry. Makes it clear that persons convicted under certain Code sections that were amended by the 2007 General Assembly must register even though the sections have been rewritten. The bill requires the registration of any conviction of crimes involving use of a communications system to facilitate certain offenses involving children rather than current law which requires registration only when the victim is a minor or is physically helpless. The bill also revises definitions to make it clear that an out-of-state conviction for a registerable offense has the same status as a Virginia conviction. This bill is identical to SB 114.
