This bill proposes updates to the registration requirements for sex offenders under section 13-3821 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Currently, the law states that if a person does not have an address or a permanent place of residence, they are required to provide a description and physical location of any temporary residence. The bill adds that such individuals must register as a transient with the sheriff in the jurisdiction where they are physically present at least every ninety days.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that individuals without a permanent address must be subject to monitoring through global positioning system (GPS) or electronic monitoring until they secure a permanent residence. This change aims to enhance the tracking and accountability of transient sex offenders, thereby improving public safety.
