Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitute and prostitution; modify in sex offender registration act. Amends sec. 2 of 1994 PA 295 (MCL 28.722).
This bill amends Michigan's Sex Offender Registration Act to clarify how certain legal statuses are defined for registration purposes. It expands the definition of "convicted" to include specific juvenile adjudications and orders of disposition for individuals aged 14 or older who would be classified as tier III offenders, while excluding convictions that have been expunged or set aside. Additionally, the legislation updates the definition of "custodial authority" to explicitly cover a broader range of relationships and positions, including specific roles within schools, correctional facilities, and county probation programs where an individual might have access to or authority over a victim. These changes aim to ensure that sex offenders with these specific backgrounds are properly identified and registered under the state's tracking system.
