A bill for an act relating to public disclosures of certain information in the child abuse registry relating to founded reports of child abuse involving sexual abuse.

HF 828 requires Iowa's child welfare agency to create a public internet registry for confirmed cases of child abuse involving sexual abuse where the perpetrator was convicted of a serious sex offense. The registry will display specific details about convicted individuals (including name, photo, residence, and offense details) but exclude victim information, details about minors, and sensitive data like Social Security numbers. The site must be searchable by location and updated within five business days of a case being confirmed as "founded" and meeting the conviction criteria. The bill explicitly prohibits disclosing information about alleged perpetrators who were minors at the time of the offense or about victims, ensuring privacy protections for vulnerable individuals.
