Home 9 Youth Justice 9 New Proposed Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration Provide Greater Flexibility to States Related to Registering Juveniles ( Page 16 )

The U.S. Department of Justice has issued proposed supplemental guidelines related to SORNA (Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act). Of particular note, the new guidelines would give jurisdictions discretion to exempt some offenses committed as a juvenile from public website posting. Comments related to this and other modifications proposed can be submitted, by July 13, to the Department of Justice, electronically or view an electronic version of these proposed guidelines at http://www.regulations.gov.

This modification would allow Wisconsin to create a common-sense approach to creating rules that will help ensure community safety and not expose some youthful offenders to the public registry unnecessarily.
