The bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include the offense of indecent assault under the sex offender registration requirements. Specifically, it adds a new provision that states a second violation of Section 22.012 (Indecent assault) will be considered a reportable conviction, unless it results in a deferred adjudication. Additionally, the bill introduces a similar provision for offenses committed under laws of other jurisdictions that are substantially similar to indecent assault, ensuring that these offenses also fall under the registration requirements if they are second violations.

Furthermore, the bill updates the language regarding the supervision of individuals with reportable convictions or adjudications, replacing references to the Texas Youth Commission with the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. It clarifies that prerelease notification and registration requirements must be conducted for individuals under supervision for offenses that now include indecent assault. The changes in law will apply only to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025.
