SB1404 is a bill that amends sections 13-3821, 13-3822, and 13-3825 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, concerning sex offender registration. The bill introduces new requirements for sex offenders who have legal custody of a child enrolled in school. It mandates that such individuals must provide the child's name and enrollment status to the county sheriff at the time of registering as a sex offender. Additionally, if there are any changes to the child's enrollment status, the sex offender must notify the sheriff within 72 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

The bill also expands community notification requirements to include level one sex offenders who have been convicted of a dangerous crime against children (DCAC). These offenders will now be part of the community notification process, which involves disseminating information to surrounding schools, including the school attended by the offender's child, if applicable. The bill defines "legal custody" as the right to have physical possession of a child and "school" as any public or nonpublic kindergarten program, common school, or high school. The bill makes technical and conforming changes and is set to become effective on the general effective date.
