SB 114 Sex Offenders and Crimes Against Minors Registry; registration requirements.

Introduced by: Ryan T. McDougle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

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 HB 1044.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Application of sex offender prohibitions and school proximity prohibitions to out-of-state violators.  Clarifies that all offenses, for which sex offender registration is required and for which other prohibitions apply, include any similar such offenses under the laws of any foreign country or any political subdivision thereof, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or any such offenses for which registration in a sex offender and crimes against minors registry is required under the laws of the jurisdiction where the offender was convicted.
