Board of Pardons and Paroles
Sex Offenders Must Register With Community Officials
Under laws enacted in 1994 and 1996, any person paroled while serving for a sex offense against a minor or a sexually violent offense against any victim must, within 10 days of his release on parole, register his name and address with the county sheriff. For those convicted of crimes against minors, the parolee must also register with the school superintendent of the public school district in which he resides. The sex offender, according to his classification, will continue to register with the county sheriff at specified intervals and duration. Those determined to be sexually violent predators by the Sexual Offender Registration Board are required to register with the local sheriff every 90 days for the remainder of their lives.
