AN ACT CONCERNING THE RELEASE OF A REGISTERED SEX
OFFENDER INTO THE COMMUNITY

Did you know the
NRA--the National
Rifle Association-was the corporate
co-chair in 2011?

(a) (1) The sex offender registry maintained by the Department of Public Safety
shall be a public record and shall be accessible to the public during normal
business hours. The Department of Public Safety shall make registry information
available to the public through the Internet. Not less than once per calendar
quarter, the Department of Public Safety shall issue notices to all print and
electronic media in the state regarding the availability and means of accessing the
registry. Each local police department and each state police troop shall keep a
record of all registration information transmitted to it by the Department of Public
Safety, and shall make such information accessible to the public during normal
business hours.

(2) (A) Any state agency, the Judicial Department, any state police troop or any
local police department may, at its discretion, notify any government agency,
private organization or individual of registration information when such agency,
said department, such troop or such local police department, as the case may be,
believes such notification is necessary to protect the public or any individual in any
jurisdiction from any person who is subject to registration.

(B) Whenever a registrant is released into the community, the Department of
Public Safety shall, by electronic mail, notify the superintendent of schools for the
school district in which the registrant resides, or plans to reside, of such release
and provide such superintendent with the same registry information for such
registrant that the department makes available to the public through the Internet
under subdivision (1) of this subsection.

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection,
state agencies, the Judicial Department, state police troops and local police
departments shall not disclose the identity of any victim of a crime committed by
a registrant or treatment information provided to the registry, inclusive, except to
government agencies for bona fide law enforcement or security purposes.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection,
registration information the dissemination of which has been restricted by court
order and which is not otherwise subject to disclosure, shall not be a public record
and shall be released only for law enforcement purposes until such restriction is
removed by the court pursuant to said section.

(5) When any registrant completes the registrant's term of registration or is
otherwise released from the obligation to register, the Department of Public Safety
shall notify any state police troop or local police department having jurisdiction
over the registrant's last reported residence address that the person is no longer a
registrant, and the Department of Public Safety, state police troop and local police
department shall remove the registrant's name and information from the registry.

(b) Neither the state nor any political subdivision of the state nor any officer or
employee thereof, shall be held civilly liable to any registrant by reason of
disclosure of any information regarding the registrant that is released or disclosed
in accordance with subsection (a) of this section. The state and any political
subdivision of the state and, except in cases of wanton, reckless or malicious
conduct, any officer or employee thereof, shall be immune from liability for good
faith conduct in carrying out the provisions of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of

faith conduct in carrying out the provisions of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of
this section.

(c){Severability Clause. }

(d){Repealer Clause. }

(e){Effective date.}
