Requires individuals convicted of listed sex offenses to register with local law enforcement, with registration periods of 15 years for tier I offenders, 25 years for tier II offenders, and lifetime for tier III offenders.

Establishes three-tiered classification system based on offense severity, with tier I being least serious (e.g., certain sexual conduct with minors), tier II being more serious, and tier III being most serious (e.g., criminal sexual conduct with children under 13).

Mandates registrants report in-person for verification annually (tier I), twice yearly (tier II), or four times yearly (tier III), and notify authorities of changes in residence, employment, school enrollment, and internet identifiers within 3 business days.

Requires $50 annual registration fee (with maximum lifetime fee of $550), and allows fee waiver for indigent individuals; establishes criminal penalties for willful violations ranging from misdemeanor to felony charges with up to 10 years imprisonment.

Directs Department of State Police to maintain separate law enforcement database and public internet registry, with limited public information available (excluding tier classification, Social Security numbers, and information on certain juvenile and single tier I offenders).
