Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Corrections is required to notify the local
police and county sheriff whenever a person is released from prison and will be living,
working, or attending school in that police's or sheriff's jurisdiction. Under this bill,
if the person is serving a sentence for certain crimes against life and bodily security
or crimes against a child, DOC is required to provide certain identifying information
about the person in the notice to the local police and county sheriff and, upon request,
to certain community organizations. Under the bill, the local police chief and county
sheriff are required to release the information to the public, unless the person who
is the subject of the notice is a child.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
