Title

Criminal sex offenders, registration, registration fee upon initial registration and annually thereafter, penalties, Sec. 13A-11-200.1 added

Description

Existing law requires a criminal sex offender to register with the sheriff of the county of his or her legal residence.

This bill would require a registration fee upon initial registration and annually thereafter and would provide penalties for failure to pay the registration fee.

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose.

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment.
