Criminal procedure: sex offender registration; registration of individual convicted of sexual contact or sexual penetration with dead human body; require. Amends sec. 2 of 1994 PA 295 (MCL 28.722). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0841'24

This bill amends Michigan's sex offender registration act to clarify who must register and under what circumstances. It expands the definition of a "conviction" to include specific tribal and military court judgments, as well as certain juvenile dispositions for serious offenses committed by individuals aged 14 or older. The legislation also updates the definition of "custodial authority" to explicitly include various school employees, correctional facility staff, and other individuals in positions of power who exploit their status to engage in sexual contact with victims. These changes ensure that a broader range of offenders, including those with specific types of past adjudications or those who abused authority, are subject to the state's registration requirements.
