Changes references from "42 USC 16911" to "34 USC 20911" throughout the act to reflect updated federal statute citations for sex offender treatment program requirements.

Expands Tier III offender definition to exclude individuals adjudicated in juvenile court (not tried as adults) who committed offenses under specific Michigan penal code sections (MCL 750.338, 750.349, 750.350, 750.520b, 750.520c, 750.520d, 750.520g).

Adds new registration requirement for individuals with juvenile dispositions: those registered solely due to juvenile adjudications must comply with registration requirements until age 25, rather than for longer periods.

Modifies petition procedures for discontinuing registration by allowing tier II offenders to petition the court and establishing new eligibility criteria for individuals with juvenile adjudications, including those tried as adults before October 1, 2021.

Makes grammatical and technical changes throughout, replacing gendered pronouns ("he or she," "his or her") with gender-neutral language ("the individual," "the person's") and updating terminology (e.g., "institution of higher learning" to "institution of higher education").
