In one sentence

This law adds new offenses to the list of crimes for which convicted offenders must register as sex offenders and changes how often they need to report their address.

What it does

  • Requires offenders convicted of Sexual Servitude of an Adult to report their address annually.
  • Requires offenders convicted of Sexual Servitude of a Minor to report their address every six months.
  • Requires offenders convicted of First-Degree or Second-Degree Human Trafficking to report their address quarterly.
  • Removes a definition from the Sex Offender Registration Act that is no longer needed.

Who it affects

  • Convicted sex offenders who are required to register under new offenses added by this law.

Limits and unknowns
