BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1 2008 c 230 s 4 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
(1) The sex offender policy board, as created by chapter . . .
(Substitute Senate Bill No. 6596), Laws of 2008, shall review and make
recommendations for changes to the statutory requirements relating to
sex offender and kidnapping offender registration and notification.
The review and recommendations shall include, but are not limited to:
(a) The appropriate class of felony and sentencing designations for
a conviction of the failure to register;
(b) The appropriate groups and classes of adult offenders who
should be required to register;
(c) The appropriate groups and classes of juvenile offenders who
should be required to register;
(d) When a sex offender or kidnapping offender should be relieved
of registration or notification requirements and the process for
termination of those obligations; ((and))
(e) Simplification of the statutory language to allow the
department of corrections, law enforcement, and offenders to more
easily identify registration and notification requirements; and
(f) The appropriate groups and classes of adult, and juvenile, if
any, offenders who should be required to submit their electronic mail
address or any other internet communication name or identity including,
but not limited to, instant message, chat, or social networking names
or identities, and the uniform resource locator of any personal web
site created or operated by the person, for purposes of monitoring
potentially inappropriate online behavior, and the appropriate
sanctions for failure to provide such information in a timely and
accurate manner, as well as any other issues associated with
establishing and implementing such a requirement.
(2) In formulating its recommendations, the board shall review the
experience of other jurisdictions and any available evidence-based
research to ensure that its recommendations have the maximum impact on
public safety.
(3) The board shall report to the governor and the relevant
committees of the legislature no later than November 1, 2009.
