AN ACT CONCERNING VE RIFICATION OF THE RE SIDENTIAL
ADDRESS OF A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER
SUMMARY: By law, the Department of Emergency Services and Public
Protection generally must verify each registered sex offender’s residential address
every 90 days after his or her initial registration by mailing a verification form to
his or her last reported address. This act allows registrants to return the form by fax
or email, in addition to by mail as the law allows. By law, they must return the form
within 10 days after the date it was mailed to them.
The act also requires the local police department or state police troop in whose
jurisdiction the registrant resides to verify a registrant’s residential address in
person every 90 days if he or she resides at an address where there is no residential
mail delivery. It also makes technical changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2023
