Useful Resource: Sex Offender Enactments Database
Sex offender policies continue to be on state legislative agendas. Some state actions are a response to the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) provisions of the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. However, numerous other enactments represent state innovation on how to best manage sex offender populations and address sex offenses. This database identifies key state legislation enacted going back to 2008.

The myth that there’s a ‘sex offender population’ that can be ‘managed’ by law enforcement in the interest of public safety. This type of thinking helps maximize budgets.
Apparently NCSL is an organization that promotes idea-sharing among state legislatures.
And as we all know, the BEST ideas for child protection come from these bodies.
I think it’s a little outdated. I ran a search on Georgia and Arizona and turned up only one bill, in Arizona from 2018, since passed.
It’s 2008 – 2018 If it’s not as useful as we thought, we’ll remove it.
Remeber that the Federal courts ANd the Georgia Suprme Court handed the state thi backside in like 2010. Only NEW convictions are subject to all fo the crazy restrictions. If you were convicted before say 2003, then you have pretty much no restrictions other than just having to register, at least until you get removed. The aded crazy restrictions come in in phases depending on when the laws were passed. Depending on when you were convicted, Georgia has some of the most draconian and most slack restrictions in the country. I would say that it is a very good thing that the Georgia Supreme Court has a much broader definition of what constitutes ex post facto under state law than the 11th Circuit apparently does.
More “best practices” garbage that will just perpetuate and cement the notion that all sex offenders need to be “tracked and monitored” in hopes of “minimizing risk.”
Why are we pouring gas on this when we should be reaching for a water hose to throw cold water on the hate and lies?
We’re there any notable changes to FloriDUH law this year?
