AR HB1684

Creates the Serious Domestic Offense Public Database maintained by the Arkansas Crime Information Center, searchable and available online containing information on persons convicted of eligible serious domestic offenses.

Database includes persons convicted more than twice of a serious domestic offense, or convicted once where the offense involved a deadly weapon or had a sexual element; includes 28 categories of domestic crimes ranging from murder to stalking.

Requires persons listed in the database to update their address with the center within 5 days of relocation, with violation constituting a Class A misdemeanor under new § 5-25-102.

Database contains public information including name, aliases, date of birth, address, photograph, conviction details, and prior felony convictions involving violence, while excluding Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, telephone numbers, and victim identities.

Allows persons to petition for database removal if acquitted on appeal, if the offense was not eligible, if records were sealed, or if a misdemeanor conviction occurred more than 5 years prior, with prosecuting attorney having right to object and appeal removal orders.
