Relating to the applicability of sex offender registration requirements to certain felonies based on the offense initially charged in the case.

HB 5401 would change Texas sex offender registration rules by requiring registration for certain felony convictions based on the *initial charge* in a case, not just the final conviction. It adds specific offenses to the list requiring registration, including aggravated kidnapping with sexual intent (Section 20.04(a)(4)), burglary committed to commit a sex crime (Section 30.02), and certain cases involving victims under 17. This affects individuals convicted of these specific felonies who were initially charged with them, even if convicted of a lesser offense later. The bill does not change registration duration or penalties but expands the scope of offenses triggering registration requirements.
