SB 6580 - DIGEST
(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Finds that: (1) Juvenile sex offenders and kidnapping offenders on and off probation attend school throughout the state;

(2) Training for school staff on how to effectively assist these students to be successful in school cannot be properly addressed without first addressing sex and kidnapping offender notification and information sharing issues; and

(3) There are no standard procedures or content for sex and kidnapping notifications to schools throughout the state, and there is no statewide school policy to define how schools process and handle notifications when they receive notifications.

Requires the work group to evaluate options and make recommendations to the legislature regarding a statewide process and content for juvenile sex offender and kidnapping offender notifications to schools for all jurisdictions.

Directs the work group to submit to appropriate committees of the legislature a final report and recommendations regarding the topics in this act by November 15, 2006.
