HB 1350 Summary

• Amends the Juvenile Sex Offender Registration Act to require the Office of Juvenile Affairs to register juvenile sex offenders pursuant to the Sex Offenders Registration Act rather than maintaining a separate juvenile registry.

• Modifies the definition of "juvenile sex offender" to remove the July 1, 2001 date requirement and includes juveniles adjudicated delinquent in other states/jurisdictions for substantially equivalent offenses or required to register elsewhere.

• Establishes procedures for juvenile sex offender registration, including court notification requirements, transfers to adult registration at age 18, and eligibility for petition to remove registration requirements after specified periods with conditions.

• Makes juvenile sex offender registry information confidential and restricts public access, while directing the Office of Juvenile Affairs to transfer copies to the Department of Corrections for inclusion in the adult sex offender registry.

• Becomes effective July 1, 2011, and includes emergency provisions declaring an emergency for immediate implementation.
