Predator Reporting Requirements Tightened
The House Judiciary Committee, Jan. 28, sent to the floor a measure this week to expand reporting requirements for those named sexually violent predators, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
House Bill 1874 would require businesses that provide counseling services to sexually violent predators to notify their county’s district attorney and their municipality’s chief of police that such services are being offered.
The State Sexual Offender Assessment Board examines every sex offender who must register under the sexual offender registration act, known as the Adam Walsh Act, to determine whether an offender is considered sexually violent. Sexually violent predators must undergo counseling at least monthly.
Under the bill, if no municipal police jurisdiction exists, a notice must be provided to the local Pennsylvania State Police barracks. Notifications must be provided annually by Jan. 15.
