2005 House Bill 4934 / Public Act 132

Revise sex offender registry reporting

Introduced in the House

June 14, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Richard Ball (R-85)

To require a registered sex offender to notify the local law enforcement department when he or she vacates a current residence, school or job. The current law requires this report when the person “changes” one of these, and this provision would remain. Also, to increase penalties for a second violation of the reporting provisions of the sex offender registration law.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary

June 28, 2005

Reported without amendment

With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.

Substitute offered
