Registered sex offenders; require those who are business owners to alert public of ownership.

HB 998 would have required business owners who are registered sex offenders to display a clear, visible sign outside their business entrance, at least 18 inches tall in bold font, visible to all entering the business. The law would have applied to all registered sex offenders regardless of conviction date, affecting businesses serving the public. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law, so this requirement is not in effect.
