The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act instructs the secretary of defense to “establish and implement a policy to ensure that registered sex offenders that reside or work on military installations are identified to the respective military community, including, as necessary, through agreements with State and local law enforcement agencies.” Beyond a notification system, the legislation would also command the secretary of defense to examine whether the military should be more fully aligned with provisions of SORNA.
The bill also requires a report assessing whether the Department of Defense should be designated as a “jurisdiction for purposes of notification requirements under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.”
