Requires person convicted, or fleeing charge, of sex offense in foreign country to register under Megan's Law; requires law enforcement to inquire about immigration status of sex offenders and cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
This bill expands New Jersey's Megan's Law registration requirements to include individuals convicted of sex offenses in foreign countries or fleeing charges there. It requires these individuals to register with local law enforcement, similar to those convicted within New Jersey. Additionally, the bill mandates that law enforcement officers inquire about the immigration status of all registered sex offenders and cooperate with federal immigration authorities. These provisions directly affect foreign nationals convicted of sex offenses who reside in New Jersey and law enforcement agencies responsible for registration enforcement.
