SCS/HB 224 - This act modifies how it is determined whether a sex offender resides within 1,000 feet of a school or child-care facility. The distance shall be determined by measuring the shortest distance between the property line of the person's residence and the property line of the school or child-care facility. This act restricts the driver's license of a convicted sexual offender to one year unless the license is issued for a shorter period of time due to other requirements of law. A license will be revoked if the offender fails to register on the Sexual Offender Registry as required by law. The driver's license of a sexual offender will predominately display a unique code or identifier. The fee for the one-year license will be $7.50. The State Highway Patrol may provide a list which includes the full name, address, and Social Security number of registered sexual offenders to the Department of Revenue.
This act creates a five-year statute of limitations for the crimes of arson and knowingly exploding and burning.
This act has an emergency clause for a certain provision.
This act is similar to certain provisions of HCS/SS/SCS/SB 429 (2007) & HCS/HB 406 (2007).
