SB 380 - This act provides that any person, including any juvenile certified as an adult, who is convicted of the offense of supporting terrorism in any state or foreign country or any person who is found not guilty of the offense of supporting terrorism by reason of mental disease or defect shall, within three days of conviction, release from incarceration, or placement upon probation, register with the chief law enforcement official of the county or city in which he or she resides. An offender registration form shall be developed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The form shall include information such as the offender's name, address, Social Security number, license plate number, and other information as provided in the act. The offender shall provide documentation to substantiate the accuracy of the information provided on the registration form. The chief law enforcement official shall then forward a copy of the registration form to a city, town, village, or campus law enforcement agency, if so requested. These registration requirements are lifetime requirements unless the offenses are reversed, the person is pardoned, or the registrant is no longer required to register as provided in the act. A registering fee of up to $10 may be charged to the offender.
This act also provides that any person required to register who is paroled, discharged, or otherwise released from any correctional facility must be informed by the official in charge of such correction facility. The official in charge of the correctional facility must complete the initial registration prior to release and forward the offender's registration within three days to the chief law enforcement official of county or city in which the offender resides. Additionally, any person required to register who is released from any county jail must be informed by the court of the duty to register. The court shall obtain the address of the offender and forward such address to the chief law enforcement officer of the county.
The chief law enforcement official shall forward a completed offender registration form to the Missouri State Highway Patrol within three days. The Missouri State Highway Patrol shall then enter the information into the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System.
This act provides that any person required to register must appear in person to the chief law enforcement official of his or her county of current residence to notify the official of any address change no later than three business days after the change. If such person moves to another state, the person shall also notify the chief law enforcement official of the area in the new state. Any probation or parole officer assigned to a terrorist offender must notify the appropriate law enforcement officials when the officer has reason to believe that the offender will be changing his or her residence. Additionally, if the offender is temporarily sent outside a correctional facility, the correctional facility shall notify the chief law enforcement officer of the county.
All registrants shall report semiannually in person in the month of their birth and six months thereafter to the chief law enforcement official.
Finally, a person commits the offense of failing to register as a terrorist offender if the person is required to register and fails to comply with the requirements of registration. Failing to register is a Class E felony. A second subsequent offense is a Class E felony and a third subsequent offense is a Class A felony. A person convicted of failing to register as a terrorist offender shall not be eligible for a suspended imposition or execution of sentence and shall not be eligible for conditional release or parole until he or she has served at least two years of imprisonment.
This act is identical to HB 1813 (2020).
