SB 424 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: sex offender registration; sex offender registration act; modify. Amends secs. 4, 5 & 8c of 1994 PA 295 (MCL 28.724 et seq.).

SB 424 amends Michigan's Sex Offender Registration Act to clarify and update registration procedures for certain offenders. It specifies deadlines for agencies (like probation offices, sheriffs, and courts) to register individuals convicted of sex offenses before specific dates (October 1, 1995, or September 1, 1999), and details requirements for out-of-state registrants moving to Michigan. The bill also streamlines the process for individuals convicted of new offenses after July 1, 2011, by requiring registration before sentencing or court disposition. It directly affects sex offenders subject to Michigan's registration laws, including those transferred from other states or convicted of offenses added to the registration list in 1999.
