An Act To Implement The Recommendations Of The Sex Offender Management And Risk Assessment Advisory Commission Regarding Tier Ii Offenses

This bill amends Maine's Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act to reclassify specific offenses as Tier II. It designates unlawful sexual contact involving an unconscious victim (where consent is lacking due to unconsciousness, including penetration) as a Tier II offense under the law. This change affects individuals convicted of such offenses, requiring them to register as Tier II sex offenders. The amendment takes effect October 1, 2025, correcting inconsistencies in the existing registration system. The bill implements a specific recommendation from Maine's Sex Offender Management Advisory Commission.
