Arizona Registry Reforms Pass Committee Hurdle
The Arizona House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously in favor of a proposal to slightly expand the number of people who are eligible to be removed from Arizona’s sex offender registry, lauding a proposal that many called an incremental step in the right direction while calling for Arizona to go further. House Bill 2613 would extend eligibility for removal from the sex offender registry to people involving law enforcement officers or others who pose as a 15, 16 or 17-year-old, and to any other offense in which the victim was at least 15 years. Currently, the statute only applies to people convicted of consensual sexual contact with a minor who is at least 15. The legislation would remove that exclusive requirement, but it’s unclear what other offenses might become eligible for removal from the registry.

Would this apply for me in stings in Florida? Let’s say they want to move over there?
I live here in Az don’t be so quick to move out here. They still have to amend the bill and see who and had it applies The Key word is “consent”. So far it looks it applies to string operation. Please don’t quote me I am not attorney nor giving out advice either. plus there is like so many years you must meet etc.
Wow do you know how many people would be kicked off the Florida registration from overzealous and crooked police,public defenders and courts. I can only hope one day a bill like that could pass in Florida and country wide, maybe then they would actually stop this scheme and focus on real criminals.
