SB 134 - This act modifies provisions relating to public safety. SEXUAL OFFENDERS WITHIN SCHOOL PROPERTIES (Section 566.149) This act provides that any person required to register as a tier III sexual offender who is a parent, legal guardian, or custodian of a student shall not be present in any school building, any real property that comprises a school, or any place where a school-related activity is taking place. SEXUAL OFFENDERS (Sections 589.401 & 589.414) Under current law, certain sexual offenders who are required to register as a sexual offender are not eligible to petition the court to have his or her name removed from the sexual offender registry. This act provides that the following people are not eligible to file a petition for removal from the sexual offender registry: • Any tier III offender; • Any person who is currently a resident of this state who has been convicted of a sexual offense in another state which would require him or her to register in this state or any person who has registered as a sexual offender on the federal sexual offender registry or other state sexual offender registry; or • Any person who was required to register for a sexual offense against a minor or against an incapacitated person. Additionally, this act changes offenses which are currently tier I and II sexual offenses to tier III offenses as provided in the act and provides that tier III sexual offenders shall be required to be monitored by electronic monitoring equipment for his or her lifetime. These provisions are substantially similar to provisions in SB 143 (2025), SB 1338 (2024), HB 1765 (2024), SB 656 (2023), and in HS/HCS/HBs 1108 & 1181 (2023) and are similar to provisions in HB 1592 (2025). RIGHTS OF VICTIMS OF CRIMES (Section 595.209) This act provides that victims of certain crimes under the age of 19 years old shall have the right to appear by video during any deposition or hearing in lieu of appearing in person.
