This act provides that the following people are not eligible to file a petition for removal from the sexual offender registry:
• Any tier III offender;
• Any person who is currently a resident of this state who has been convicted of a sexual offense in another state which would require him or her to register in this state or any person who has registered as a sexual offender on the federal sexual offender registry or other state sexual offender registry; or
• Any person who was required to register for a sexual offense against a minor or against an incapacitated person.
Additionally, this act changes offenses which are currently tier I and II sexual offenses to tier III offenses as provided in the act.
This act is identical to HB 1765 (2024), SB 656 (2023), and to provisions in HS/HCS/HBs 1108 & 1181 (2023).
