§20923 Megan Nicole Kanka and Alexandra Nicole Zapp Community Notification Program

Summary

Creates the Megan Nicole Kanka and Alexandra Nicole Zapp Community Notification Program and requires that, right after a sex offender registers or updates their registration, a local official must send the offender’s registry information (except parts the Attorney General keeps private) to certain people and agencies. Those recipients include the Attorney General for the national registry; local law enforcement, schools, and public housing where the person lives, works, or studies; any places involved when the person moves or changes work or school; agencies doing employment background checks; child-welfare/social-service agencies; volunteer groups that might meet minors or other vulnerable people; and any organization or person who asks under local procedures. Organizations or individuals in the volunteer or “who asks” groups may choose to get updates on a schedule of at least once every five business days.
