Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §9.1-904 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§9.1-904. Reregistration.
A. Every person required to register, other
than a person convicted of a sexually violent offense or murder,
shall reregister with the State Police on an annual basis from
the date of the initial registration. Every person convicted of a sexually violent
offense or murder shall reregister with the State Police every 90 days from the
date of initial registration on a schedule pursuant
to this section. Reregistration means that the person has
notified the State Police, confirmed his current physical and mailing address
and electronic mail address information, and any instant message, chat, or other Internet
communication name or identity information that he uses or intends to use, and
provided such other information, including identifying information, which the
State Police may require. Upon registration and as may be necessary thereafter,
the State Police shall provide the person with an address verification form to
be used for reregistration. The form shall contain in bold print a statement
indicating that failure to comply with the registration required is punishable
as provided in §18.2-472.1. Upon registration and as may be necessary
thereafter, the person shall likewise be required to execute a consent form
consistent with applicable law that authorizes a business or organization that
offers electronic communications or remote computer services to provide to the
Department of State Police any information pertaining to that person necessary
to determine the veracity of his electronic identity information in the
registry.
B. Any person convicted of
a violation of §18.2-472.1, other than a person convicted of a sexually
violent offense or murder, shall reregister with the State Police every
180 days from the date of such conviction. Any person convicted
of a violation of §18.2-472.1, in which such person was included on the
Registry for a conviction of a sexually violent offense or murder, shall reregister
with the State Police every 30 days from the
date of conviction. Reregistration means the person has notified the
State Police, confirmed his current physical and mailing address and electronic
mail address information, any instant message, chat or other Internet
communication name or identity information that he uses or intends to use, and
provided such other information, including identifying information, which the
State Police may require. Upon registration and as may be necessary thereafter,
the State Police shall provide the person with an address verification form to
be used for reregistration. The form shall state the registration requirements
and contain in bold print a statement indicating that failure to comply with
the registration requirements is punishable as provided in §18.2-472.1.
C.
Every person required to register pursuant to this chapter shall submit to be
photographed by a local law-enforcement agency every two years, during such person's required reporting month and
time interval,
commencing with the date of initial registration reregistration. Photographs
shall be in color, be taken with the registrant facing the camera, and clearly
show the registrant's face and shoulders only. No person other than the
registrant may appear in the photograph submitted. The photograph shall
indicate the registrant's full name, date of birth and the date the photograph
was taken. The local law-enforcement agency shall forthwith forward the
photograph and the registration form to the State Police. Where practical, the
local law-enforcement agency may electronically transfer a digital photograph
containing the required information to the Sex Offender and Crimes Against
Minors Registry within the State Police.
C. Every person required to register, other than a person convicted of a sexually violent offense or murder, shall reregister with the State Police once each year during such person's birth month. Persons with last names beginning with A through L shall reregister from the first to the fifteenth of such person's birth month and persons with last names beginning with M through Z shall reregister from the sixteenth to the last day of the month during such person's birth month.
