What’s in it
AI summary Currently, people convicted of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse must register as sex offenders for life. This change would mean those people no longer have to register for life if their actions did not cause an injury.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, convictions for certain criminal offenses, including assault with intent to commit sexual abuse pursuant to Code section 709.11 regardless of the circumstances of the offense, are defined as “aggravated offenses” for purposes of the sex offender registry. Upon conviction of an aggravated offense, a sex offender is required to register with the sex offender registry for life. This bill amends the definition of an “aggravated offense” to exclude persons convicted of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse where there is no resulting injury.
