If enacted, this bill would significantly amend Arizona's sex offender registration laws. It would expand the list of offenses requiring lifetime registration to include sexual assault of a spouse, child sex trafficking, and any second or subsequent offenses of indecent exposure or public sexual indecency, regardless of the victim's age. Additionally, the bill would eliminate the automatic termination of juvenile registration at age 25 and remove the 10-year registration limit for individuals convicted of unlawful imprisonment or kidnapping of a minor, subjecting them to lifetime registration instead.

The bill also proposes to delete the requirement for sheriffs to transmit DNA samples from offenders from other jurisdictions to the Department of Public Safety. It would modify the penalties for non-compliance with registration requirements, establishing a fixed assessment of $250, which cannot be waived by the court. Furthermore, it would make technical and conforming changes to existing statutes, ensuring that the registration process aligns with the new provisions and maintains consistency across related laws.
