Introduced by: Vivian E. Watts | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Sex offender registry; registration and reregistration.  Makes procedural changes to some of the registration and reregistration requirements set forth in the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry Act. Where current law requires registration or reregistration to take place within three days, the bill clarifies that this means business days. The bill also specifies that when a person is required to reregister within 30 minutes of a change to an electronic mail or Internet communication identity, and such reregistration takes place electronically, the reregistration is deemed to have occurred when the person sent the update, and not when it was received or opened by the law-enforcement agency. Finally, the bill requires the local law-enforcement agency to provide and update as needed the telephone number and electronic mail address to the Department of State Police to be listed on the State Police website.
