Assembly Bill 841 proposes an amendment to Wisconsin's sex offender registration laws by adding the crime of keeping a place of prostitution to the list of offenses that require individuals to register as sex offenders. Currently, individuals must register if they are convicted of specific sex offenses or found not guilty due to mental disease or defect. The bill aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that those who engage in prostitution-related activities are included in the sex offender registry.

The specific legal language amended in the bill is found in section 301.45 (1d) (b) of the statutes, where the crime of keeping a place of prostitution is inserted into the existing list of sex offenses. This change reflects a broader approach to addressing sexual crimes and reinforces the state's commitment to monitoring individuals who may pose a risk to the community. The bill will take effect for violations committed on or after the effective date of the amendment.
