Senate Bill 866 proposes an amendment to the sex offender registration requirements in Wisconsin. Specifically, it adds the crime of keeping a place of prostitution to the list of offenses that necessitate registration as a sex offender. This change aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals convicted of this crime are subject to the same registration requirements as those convicted of other specified sex offenses.

The bill modifies the existing legal language in section 301.45 (1d) (b) of the statutes by inserting the reference to keeping a place of prostitution, thereby expanding the definition of a "sex offense." The amendment reflects a broader approach to sex offender registration, ensuring that individuals involved in prostitution-related offenses are included in the registry. The bill is set to apply to violations committed on or after the effective date of the amendment.
