AR SB633

Expands electronic monitoring requirements for sex offenders upon release from incarceration to include those determined to be sexually dangerous persons under § 12-12-918 and those adjudicated guilty of aggravated sex offenses involving a minor, for a minimum of 10 years.

Requires monitoring agencies to use systems that actively track the offender's location, report presence near crime scenes or in prohibited areas, and contact local law enforcement when violations occur.

Establishes a fee structure where non-indigent sex offenders must reimburse supervision costs up to $15.00 per day, with costs paid by the Division of Community Correction for indigent offenders who provide a sworn certificate of indigency.

Makes it a Class C felony to violate monitoring requirements or to knowingly alter, tamper with, damage, or destroy electronic monitoring equipment, with exceptions for equipment owners performing routine maintenance.

Authorizes the Parole Board, Division of Community Correction, and circuit courts to impose electronic monitoring as a condition of release for convicted sex offenders, and allows circuit courts to require monitoring for persons charged with but not yet convicted of sex offenses as a condition of pretrial release.
