SB 1009: Relating to sex offenders.

SB 1009 creates a system to provide sex crime victims with specific information about offenders. It requires the Department of State Police to assign victims a unique identification number linked to the offender's registry record and establish a toll-free hotline for victims to receive updates on the offender's prison status, release, or parole.
