The bill CS/HB 1351 amends the Florida Sexual Predators Act, specifically section 775.21, to enhance the definitions and reporting requirements for sexual predators and offenders. It introduces new definitions for "permanent residence," "temporary residence," and "transient residence," while also adding a category for "in-state travel residence." The registration process is updated to require sexual predators to provide comprehensive personal information, including employment status and vehicle details, and mandates reporting any changes within 48 hours. Additionally, the bill establishes an online system for secure updates and requires local law enforcement to verify addresses at least four times a year.

The legislation also imposes criminal penalties for non-compliance, classifying failures to register or report changes as felonies of the third degree. It specifies that a physical address must be provided, as a post office box is not acceptable. The bill aims to improve tracking and monitoring of sexual predators and offenders, ensuring law enforcement has accurate and timely information to enhance public safety, in alignment with federal standards set by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The act is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025.
