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 information about their residences, vehicles, and employment, with a mandate to report any changes within 48 hours. Additionally, the bill establishes an online system for offenders to securely update their information 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 sexual predators must report in person to the sheriff's office for various changes, including vehicle ownership and residence status. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate and timely information for public safety and aims to strengthen the monitoring of sexual predators and offenders in Florida. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
