HB 1592 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the sexual offender registry

HB 1592 modifies Missouri's sexual offender registry requirements by defining who must register, for how long, and under what conditions. It requires individuals convicted of specific sexual offenses (like child sexual abuse, exploitation, or certain types of assault) to register with local law enforcement within three business days of conviction or release, with registration periods based on offense severity: 15 years for less severe offenses (Tier I), 25 years for moderate offenses (Tier II), and life for the most severe offenses (Tier III). The bill also allows for reduced registration periods after maintaining a clean record (no new offenses or violations) for 10 years (Tier I) or 25 years (Tier III), and permits registration fees of $10 initially and $5 per change. This directly affects individuals convicted of listed offenses, including some juveniles transferred to adult court and out-of-state registrants living or working near schools in Missouri.
