Not sure why the are including the no expungement stuff in that bill because the laws for expungement already say it does not apply to sex offenders

Scott – thank you for sharing this. Yes. This bill does seek to authorize the charging of a registration fee.
A separate post has been submitted on this.

In reply to Jerry. That's correct, Jerry - these bills are far more comprehensive than the one-sentence summary and they were previously written up on and the subject of our February member call. They are just listed here for reference.

Just to point out, HB1137 basically just has the lottery escrow as a headline (probably so it gets pushed through easily as a hot-button issue). The meat of the bill comes later, which outlines stricter guidelines for SOs on probation and also proposes a yearly see for registration.

iirc the lottery portion of the bill is only about the first 2 or 3 pages of the 20-some page bill.

In case you were wondering, it’ll be a max of 0 annually for sexual predators and 0 annually for sexual offenders.
