This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 243.166, subdivision 1b, to require individuals who receive a stay of adjudication for certain criminal sexual conduct charges to register as predatory offenders. Specifically, the new legal language mandates that a person who has been granted a stay of adjudication under section 609.095, paragraph (b), for charges related to various sections of criminal sexual conduct or related offenses must register, unless the offender is a juvenile and the court finds good cause to waive this requirement.

The bill aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals who have been charged with serious sexual offenses, even if not convicted, are included in the predatory offender registry. This change reflects a broader effort to monitor and manage individuals who may pose a risk to the community, thereby reinforcing the state's commitment to protecting its citizens from sexual offenses.
