SB 656 - 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. This act is identical to HS/HCS/HBs 1108 & 1181 (2023).
