HF 536: Relating to the definition of an aggravated offense for purposes of the sex offender registry
Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
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.
