The proposed bill SB1236 amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3827 to require level one sex offenders who were at least 21 years old at the time of committing specified sexual offenses, particularly those sentenced for dangerous crimes against children (DCAC), to register on the internet sex offender website. This includes offenses such as sexual abuse, molestation of a child, and child sex trafficking, among others. The bill also clarifies that offenders must have been 18 years or older at the time of the offense to be included on the website and mandates that the website must list offenders for both completed and preparatory offenses.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Department of Public Safety must add the names and information of offenders convicted of the specified offenses before the bill's effective date to the internet sex offender website within 12 months. This amendment aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that a broader range of offenders is included in the registry, particularly those who pose a significant risk due to the nature of their crimes against children.
