S- 2764 Doyle
H- 7676 Church

Currently, it is provided that the identifying information of a juvenile sex offender shall not be listed on the RI State Police and RI Unified Court System website.

AN ACT RELATING TO SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND NOTIFICATION Sex Offender Registration — Retroactive Repeal
S- 2805 Polisena
H- 7599 Melo

This bill would amend the current law that provides that those convicted of an offense requiring registration shall not have to register unless the offense was committed after the effective date of July 1, 1992. This bill would amend that provision by striking language “committed after the effective date” to assure that all persons convicted of a crime that requires registration will be required to register regardless of when the offense was committed.
