Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 53.1-157.1 as follows:

§ 53.1-157.1. Condition of parole for certain parolees; Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.

A. Any person released on parole who was convicted of murder, as defined in § 9.1-902, or any Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III offense, as defined in § 9.1-902, who is not required to be registered in the Commonwealth with the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry pursuant to § 9.1-901 shall be required to register, reregister, and verify his registration information with the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry as a condition of his parole.

B. The provisions of Chapter 9 (§ 9.1-900 et seq.) of Title 9.1 shall apply to this section mutatis mutandis.

2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 1289 of the Acts of Assembly of 2020 requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation is $0 for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
