HB 1836 - DIGEST
(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 2/12/08)

Provides that, when an offender required to register under this act is subsequently convicted of an offense that is not a sex or kidnapping offense, and is in the custody, as a result of the offense, of the state department of corrections, the state department of social and health services, a local division of youth services, or a local jail or juvenile detention facility, he or she shall register at the time of release from custody with an official designated by the agency that has jurisdiction over the offender. The agency shall, within three days, forward the registration information to the county sheriff for the county of the offender's anticipated residence.

Requires the offender to also register within twenty-four hours from the time of release with the county sheriff for the county of the person's residence, or if the person is not a resident of Washington, the county of the person's school or place of employment or vocation. The agency that has jurisdiction over the offender shall provide notice to the offender of the duty to register. The requirements of this provision apply regardless of whether the offender was registered prior to his or her confinement.
