2003 House Bill 4920 ↩

Senate Roll Call 550: Passed

To allow minors who have been convicted of certain "statutory rape" type crimes involving consensual sex with other minors to petition for an exemption from the state's public sex offender registry, and to be placed for a shorter time on a non-public law enforcement sex offender registry. The bill defines various circumstances that would qualify an offence 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, the absence of any "aggravating factors" in the offence, and more.
