study committee; registered sex offenders
This bill establishes a temporary study committee in Arizona to examine current laws and practices regarding registered sex offenders. The committee will be composed of six legislators, including three from the Senate and three from the House of Representatives, who will investigate how local, state, and tribal agencies handle sexual offenses and assess the effectiveness of existing registration laws in preventing recidivism. The group is authorized to request necessary resources from state agencies and will submit its findings and recommendations to state leaders by June 30, 2025. The legislation includes a provision to automatically repeal the committee's authority by September 30, 2025, ensuring the study is limited to a specific timeframe.
