Passed in the House 102 to 0 (details)
To exempt minors who have been convicted of certain "statutory rape" type crimes involving consensual sex with other minors from the state's public sex offender registry, and to give judges more discretion on whether to place the individual on a non-public law enforcement sex offender registry. The bill would define various circumstances that would place an offence in the category of a “youthful indiscretion offense,” thereby qualifying for the exemption. These circumstances include factors such as the age of the offender, an age difference of three years or less between the parties, the seriousness of the offence, etc. Under current law, a juvenile who has sex with a person under age 16 can be placed on the sex offenders registry for 25 years. See also House Bill 5240.
