Finds that the state sex and kidnapping offender registration system is an indispensable tool for increasing community safety. It is the responsibility of local law enforcement agencies to verify the addresses and residency of registered sex and kidnapping offenders and to provide notification to the community of registered sex and kidnapping offenders within their jurisdictions. These duties have placed enormous strain on the already limited resources of local governments throughout the state.

Declares the intent to provide a permanent state funding source to help local law enforcement agencies verify the addresses and residency of registered sex and kidnapping offenders and notify the community of registered sex and kidnapping offenders within their jurisdictions.

Appropriates the sum of five million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, from the public safety and education account to the criminal justice training commission for the purposes of assisting local law enforcement to verify the addresses and residency of registered sex and kidnapping offenders and notify the community of registered sex and kidnapping offenders within their jurisdiction.
