Proposed Bill No. 6359, introduced by REP. DUBITSKY of the 47th District, aims to amend Title 54 of the general statutes to establish a tiered system for the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry. The bill proposes the creation of a placement plan to assess each sexual offender and categorize them based on their risk level as lowest risk, moderate risk, or highest risk. This tiered system is intended to differentiate between offenders based on the severity of their offenses and the risk they pose to the community.
Additionally, the bill seeks to address the retroactive application of the sexual offender registration requirement. It proposes to undo the requirement for individuals who had fully served their sentences before the establishment of the sexual offender registry. This change would affect those who were convicted and completed their sentences prior to the registry's creation, exempting them from the obligation to register. The stated purpose of the bill is to create a more nuanced and fair system for the sex offender registry in Connecticut.
