A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the period for which a person is required to register as
a sex offender based on the offense of compelling prostitution.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Article 62.101(a), Code of Criminal Procedure,
is amended to read as follows:
(a) Except as provided by Subsection (b) and Subchapter I,
the duty to register for a person ends when the person dies if the
person has a reportable conviction or adjudication, other than an
adjudication of delinquent conduct, for:
(1) a sexually violent offense;
(2) an offense under Section 20A.02(a)(3), (4), (7),
or (8), 25.02, 43.05 [43.05(a)(2)], or 43.26, Penal Code;
(3) an offense under Section 20A.03, Penal Code, if
based partly or wholly on conduct that constitutes an offense under
Section 20A.02(a)(3), (4), (7), or (8) of that code;
(4) an offense under Section 21.11(a)(2), Penal Code,
if before or after the person is convicted or adjudicated for the
offense under Section 21.11(a)(2), Penal Code, the person receives
or has received another reportable conviction or adjudication,
other than an adjudication of delinquent conduct, for an offense or
conduct that requires registration under this chapter;
(5) an offense under Section 20.02, 20.03, or 20.04,
Penal Code, if:
(A) the judgment in the case contains an
affirmative finding under Article 42.015 or, for a deferred
adjudication, the papers in the case contain an affirmative finding
that the victim or intended victim was younger than 17 years of age;
and
(B) before or after the person is convicted or
adjudicated for the offense under Section 20.02, 20.03, or 20.04,
Penal Code, the person receives or has received another reportable
conviction or adjudication, other than an adjudication of
delinquent conduct, for an offense or conduct that requires
registration under this chapter; or
(6) an offense under Section 43.23, Penal Code, that
is punishable under Subsection (h) of that section.
SECTION 2. Article 62.101(a), Code of Criminal Procedure,
as amended by this Act, applies only to a conviction or adjudication
for an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act.
A conviction or adjudication for an offense committed before the
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in
effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense
was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element
of the offense occurred before that date.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
