HB 1765 -- SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRY

SPONSOR: Hicks

Currently, offenders required to register as tier III offenders on the sexual offender registry cannot file a petition to be removed from the registry and are required to register for their lifetime.

This bill adds to those required to register for their lifetime those required to register under federal law and those who are required to register as a result of an offense that was sexual in nature and committed against a minor or against an incapacitated person.

The bill also moves multiple offenses currently listed under the tier I or tier II registration requirements to the tier III registration requirements. All the moved offenses are sexual in nature and involve a minor as the victim.

This bill is the same as HB 1108 (2023).
