MI: Sex offender registry update passes state Senate

The Michigan Senate voted Tuesday to update the state’s sex offender registry laws to comply with a recent federal court ruling.

The decision blocked increased reporting requirements for people convicted before new, tougher laws took effect. The court also declared unconstitutional a provision that allowed the state police to decide if an out-of-state crime warranted reporting.

The matter has been in near-constant litigation in some manner for years. Brinks conceded the issue could still come up again.

“I’m not 100% sure that this will settle it. But I think that we’ve done our part today to make sure that we are in compliance with this most recent court case,” Brinks said.

    notice they haven’t mentioned “what’s in the bill”? This is Michigan. You can be sure it’s the same as the “the bill” they passed to address the courts orders last time and the time before.. Michigan legislature has many creative ways to turn the screws making matters worse ignoring court orders while pretending to come into compliance. I would place money this new bill is exactly that (again).. Expect a new atrocious mess and a new round of court battles . The government is fighting with tax payers money and our time.. they’ve got lots of both to burn. it’s called attrition..they can play these court games forever at bo cost to them, just waiting for us to run out of money..

      Get it right, they are the “Dumb Dumb Boys” with a 8th grade education if lucky. Just about how “The Bowery Boys” were. 1 smart one and the rest about as dumb as a rock.

          Not much of a reason, Vanessa. Go troll elsewhere.

      Michigan’s laws are getting BETTER, not worse.
      We should be praying for Florida to follow the same path.

          So protect people from becoming victims. Help people grow afterwards. Marginalization of others past their adjudication is stupid.

            Absolutely not. One can not outgrow being a sex predator. They always want their favorite flavor of gelato. Go interview some of the worst ones and report back to me with your findings.

              Pretty much everyone on here agrees that the worst predators can’t change. That is true BY DEFINITION (thanks, Captain Obvious!). But I don’t think that’s who BWJ or others are advocating for.
