Criminal procedure: sex offender registration; sex offender registration act; modify. Amends secs. 2, 5, 8c & 10 of 1994 PA 295 (MCL 28.722 et seq.).

This bill amends Michigan's Sex Offender Registration Act to update how the law defines who must register and under what circumstances. It clarifies that individuals convicted in tribal or military courts must register, while those whose convictions have been expunged or set aside are exempt. The legislation also expands the definition of "custodial authority" to include various roles such as teachers, school employees, and correctional staff who exploit their position to coerce victims into sexual contact. Additionally, the bill specifies new criteria for when juvenile disposition orders or out-of-state adjudications require registration, particularly for offenses involving victims aged 14 or older that would classify the offender as tier III. These changes aim to ensure the registration system covers a broader range of legal outcomes and specific abuse scenarios without altering the core requirements for existing registrants.
