DOJ seeking comments on proposed SORNA Rule

The Department of Justice is proposing a rule that specifies the registration requirements under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (‘‘SORNA’’). The rule in part reflects express requirements of SORNA and in part reflects the exercise of authorities SORNA grants to the Attorney General to interpret and implement SORNA’s requirements. SORNA’s requirements have previously been delineated in guidelines issued by the Attorney General for implementation of SORNA’s requirements by registration jurisdictions.

NOTE: This appears to be in response to the Non-Delegation issue that was before the SCOTUS in Gundy:

    You can submit your statements online with 5000 character limit, however, you can add up to 10 attachments so if you write a longer statement like I did, you can just send it as an attachment in addition to the statement you can add under 5k characters.

    I sent quite a bit of info including entire articles from my site. Not sure any of it will be read but at least it will be on the record.

    If you want to send it in the mail, the address is:

    To: Regulations Docket Clerk
    Office of Legal Policy
    U.S. Department of Justice
    950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 4234
    Washington, DC 20530

      Thanks for the information.

      They should get well over 1 million comments. I will be sending plenty.

      Regardless of any comments that are sent, it is far past time to continue to allow these harassers any peace. I am going to keep delivering real consequences.

          Not quite sure what FAC means by this comment.

            Resist the temptation to harass, insult, or threaten the regulators, as they have the discretion as to whether or not to take our comments seriously.

            If that’s not what FAC meant here then I’m sure they’ll correct me.

              That’s what we meant – plus to make sure what you are writing is factually correct and relevant.

    All Members,

    after a Quick Read, the proposed changes Give The US Attorney unbridled powers…It expands the law of strict liability and basically gives the US Attorney a ‘Carte Blanche’ to do what he/she wants to do…

    It creates a wider band in which the US Attorney general can squeeze the States and US Territories in order to comply with stiffer laws and languages in an attempt to with hold their annual payments for enforcement, aka JAG Payments!

    Of course, there are NO Facts related to persons who are required to register like Recidivism Rates and all the other DOJ statistics that most of us use on a daily basis etc (Quite an oxymoron, as the Attorney General’s office which is under the guise of the DOJ, does not even use it’s own facts!)

    Therefore, perhaps, both FAC’s and NARSOL’s legal teams can join together to figure out the proper response to these illogical proposals that the DOJ’s Attorney General is trying to mandate

    Time is of the Essence.

    The only saving grace, maybe, if and when the NEW POTUS is elected, the person really that will be running the USA will be the new Vice-President (the first State Attorney ever to gain top political office), who appears to have sympathy and believes in Criminal Justice Reform, so therefore, the actual new mandates may never get enacted in time

    Again, time is of the essence, while disregarding the new political movements that may be about to occur!

    Perhaps, FAC can set up a New ‘News feed’/posting, just to allow submissions by those members who have critical and factual information to share

    Compilation of Factual Historical Data will be the key in submitting the ‘Requests for Proposal’ while citing case law, precedents etc!

      I’m no Trump fan by any means but let’s not forget Biden helped push all the main registry laws through Congress, and Harris tried banning registrants on social media.

      Trump’s administration passed SOSTA/ FESTA, internet censorship laws passed under the guise of sex trafficking, and he’s a big believer in QAnon, and QANon is going to be a major headache for use because we won’t be dealing with intelligent people (we’ll be arguing with tinfoil hat wearing, Alex Jones gay frog water drinking, flat earth underground illuminati satanic pedophilic cannibalistic lizardfolk conspiracy theorists).

      I’m voting third party this year.

    Good Day

    This is also a reaction to an impending case that got standing with SCOTUS, which postponed oral arguments resulting it into the next term.

    ‘They’ were told this last month, and as a result, Politics seems to be a William Barr, kind of thing, granting this legal perversion!

    Do NOT FEAR, as ‘THEY’ are actively on this as we saw this coming

    Thank you FAC for your fast footing!

    This will be sliced and diced to the bone!

    Stay Tuned!
