The bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to clarify the applicability of sex offender registration requirements for certain felonies based on the initial charges filed in a case. Specifically, it introduces new language that expands the definition of "reportable conviction or adjudication" to include a violation of any other offense punishable as a felony, provided that the initial charge would have subjected the individual to registration requirements. Additionally, it adds a provision stating that the duty to register for individuals with a reportable conviction or adjudication under this new category will end when the duty to register based on the initial charge would have ended.

Furthermore, the bill removes the previous language that allowed for certain offenses to be excluded from the definition of reportable convictions. The changes are applicable only to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Offenses committed prior to this date will continue to be governed by the law in effect at that time.
