AB933,1,2
1An Act to create 301.46 (2m) (ap) of the statutes;
relating to: notification of law
2enforcement when certain sex offenders change residential addresses.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person must register with the Department of Corrections
(DOC) as a sex offender if he or she has been convicted of certain sex offenses, found
not guilty of certain sex offenses by reason of mental disease or defect, or adjudicated
delinquent on the basis of certain sex offenses. The sex offender registry contains
specific information about a person required to register (registrant), such as the
registrant's name, appearance, offense, address, and place of employment and any
school in which the registrant is enrolled. When a registrant is released DOC or the
Department of Health Services (DHS), whichever agency has authority over the
registrant, may notify the police chief of the community, and the sheriff of the county,
in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending school if the person
has been convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental defect or disease, of a sex
offense only one time and must notify the police chief of the community, and the
sheriff of the county, in which the registrant will be residing, employed, or attending
school or through which the registrant will be traveling if the person has been
convicted, or found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, of a sex offense
or if the person has been found to be a sexually violent person. The notification must
include the registrant's residential address. This bill requires DOC or DHS, if the
agency provided notice, to notify the same persons if the registrant moves.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
