REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY, JANUARY 19, 2011  

  

  

  

AN ACT

  

1

Amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the

2

Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of sexual

3

offenders, further providing for information made available

4

on the Internet.

5

The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

6

hereby enacts as follows:

7

Section 1.  Section 9798.1(a) and (b) introductory paragraph

8

of Title 42 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes are

9

amended and subsection (b) is amended by adding a paragraph to

10

read:

11

§ 9798.1.  Information made available on the Internet and

12

electronic notification.

13

(a)  Legislative findings.--It is hereby declared to be the

14

finding of the General Assembly that public safety will be

15

enhanced by making information about sexually violent predators,

 


1

lifetime registrants and other sex offenders available to the

2

public through the Internet and electronic notification.

3

Knowledge of whether a person is a sexually violent predator,

4

lifetime registrant or other sex offender could be a significant

5

factor in protecting oneself and one's family members, or those

6

in care of a group or community organization, from recidivist

7

acts by sexually violent predators, lifetime registrants and

8

other sex offenders. The technology afforded by the Internet and

9

electronic notification would make this information readily

10

accessible to parents and private entities, enabling them to

11

undertake appropriate remedial precautions to prevent or avoid

12

placing potential victims at risk. Public access to information

13

about sexually violent predators, lifetime registrants and other

14

sex offenders is intended solely as a means of public protection

15

and shall not be construed as punitive.

16

(b)  Internet posting of sexually violent predators, lifetime

17

registrants [and], other offenders and electronic

18

notification.--The Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police

19

shall, in the manner and form directed by the Governor:

20

* * *

21

(7)  Notwithstanding 18 Pa.C.S. Ch. 91 (relating to

22

criminal history record information), develop, implement and

23

maintain a process which allows members of the public to

24

receive electronic notification when an individual required

25

to register under this subchapter moves into or out of a

26

user-designated location.

27

* * *

28

Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
