Criminal Procedure - Lifetime Sexual Offender Supervision - Conditions, Violations, and Petitions for Discharge

SB 220 modifies Maryland's lifetime supervision requirements for certain convicted sexual offenders. It applies to individuals convicted of specific offenses against minors (like crimes committed against children under 13 or 16 years old), sexual violent predators, or those required to register under existing law. Key provisions include mandating GPS tracking, restricting proximity to schools or minors, requiring treatment programs, and imposing penalties for violations (misdemeanor for first offense, felony for repeat offenses with up to 10 years in prison). The bill also establishes a process allowing offenders to petition for discharge after five years of compliance with supervision terms.
