2011 Senate Bill 188 ↩

House Roll Call 51: Passed

To create categories of offense within the state sex offender registry based on seriousness, with less serious ones imposing less stringent ongoing reporting requirements and also allowing offenders to come off the list after 15 or 25 years; and make other detail changes to this law and its requirements. In general, the thrust of the bill is to exclude or impose less rigorous reporting requirements on certain youthful offenders if the victim was not more than four years younger but still age 13 or more and depending on the seriousness of the offense (so cslled “Romeo and Juliet” offences).
