Description

This bill would make technical revisions to the Alabama Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act and would update internal citations in various sections of the Code of Alabama 1975 to reflect the appropriate section under current law

This bill would clarify that a petition for relief from registration, employment, or living restrictions must be filed in the civil division of the circuit court

The bill would provide a penalty for a sex offender who absconds and fails to register in the county where the sex offender declared intent to reside

This bill would require a sex offender to provide to law enforcement a list of all Internet providers used by the sex offender

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.
