What’s in it
This bill relates to public disclosures of certain information in the child abuse registry.102 (sex offense classifications), if the person was convicted. The internet site, at a minimum, must be searchable by name, county, city, zip code, and geographic radius. The bill requires HHS to make information received by HHS that is required to be displayed on the internet site either available on the internet site within five business days of the date HHS determines the allegation of child abuse relating to the information is founded and that the act would constitute a tier II or tier III offense if the alleged perpetrator was convicted, or the date HHS received the information, whichever is later.
Read the full explanation
The bill details the type of information that shall be included on the internet site and what type of information shall not be included on the internet site. The bill is not to be construed to prohibit HHS from disseminating information available on the internet site through other means to the general public. The bill requires HHS to include instructions and forms necessary for a person seeking to apply for a correction of information on the internet site. The bill directs HHS to adopt rules to implement the bill.
