Requires prosecutor to determine risk of re-offense under Megan's Law prior to offender's release from incarceration.

This bill amends New Jersey's Megan's Law to require county prosecutors to assess a sex offender's risk of re-offense *before* the offender is released from prison, rather than after release as currently occurs. It removes the factor of "residing in a home situation that provides guidance and supervision" from the risk assessment criteria since the offender's post-release residence isn't known at the time of release. Prosecutors must now evaluate risk using factors like criminal history, psychological profiles, treatment response, and recent behavior to assign one of three notification levels: low risk (law enforcement only), moderate risk (community organizations too), or high risk (public notification). This change ensures sex offenders are properly categorized for community notification prior to their release into the community.
