Sex Offender Registration and Risk Assessment

This law revises the state's sex offender classification and notification mechanism to comply with provisions of the federal Adam Walsh Act. The previous law classified individuals convicted of sexual offenses based on the likelihood of repeating crimes, while the new measure assigns them to one of three tiers based solely on the crime committed.
