To bring the NE Sex Offender Registration Act into compliance with federal guidelines established under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.  The Act calls for state conformity to various aspects of sex offender registration, including information  that must be collected, duration of registration requirements for classifications of offenders, verification of registry information, access to and sharing of information, and penalties for failure to register as required.  Legislation is required for compliance by July 27, 2009.  As amended, the bill addresses the retroactive application of the new registry and notification requirements to the expanded list of registry offenses; separates the new offenses from the current list of registry offenses into a new subsection and make them subject to the Sex Offender Registration Act from the effective date of the act onward; eliminates language in the original bill by mistake.  LB285 passed 46-1-2 with the emergency clause.
