The bill SB1253 mandates that individuals required to register as sex offenders and who are legal guardians of students in public or private schools must notify the school's principal or administrator of their registration status within ten days of the student's enrollment. Additionally, if the sex offender is on probation at the time of enrollment, their probation officer is responsible for annually determining whether the notification requirement applies and ensuring that the school has received the necessary notification.

This new legislation introduces specific notification requirements that were not previously outlined in current law. It emphasizes the responsibility of both the sex offender and their probation officer in the notification process, thereby enhancing the safety measures surrounding the enrollment of students in schools. The bill was ultimately vetoed by the Governor, who noted that existing laws already cover the registration and notification requirements for sex offenders.
