2019 House Bill 4857 / Public Act 82

Extend sex offender registry fees

Introduced in the House

Aug. 29, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Aaron Miller (R-59)

To extend the annual fee charged to individuals who are required to register on a public sex offender registry. The current fee is $50 a year, with a $550 lifetime cap. Technically, this and related bills eliminate the sunset on previously enacted “temporary” fees or fee increases. Several dozen such bills raising or retaining various fees have been introduced, and Gov. Whitmer's executive budget recommendation presumes that they will pass.
