  1 21    Sec. 4.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act, being deemed of
  1 22 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  1 23                           EXPLANATION 
  1 24    This bill amends the sex offender registry chapter by
  1 25 making changes to the list of offenses that require
  1 26 registration.  The bill adds two offenses to the list of
  1 27 offenses included in the definition of "criminal offense
  1 28 against a minor" and strikes an offense in the definition of
  1 29 "sexually violent offense" in order to comply with the
  1 30 mandatory guidelines of the federal Jacob Wetterling Act.
  1 31    The definition of the term "criminal offense against a
  1 32 minor" is amended by adding two offenses, kidnapping, and
  1 33 false imprisonment.  If an offender is convicted of either
  1 34 kidnapping or false imprisonment of a minor, the offender must
  1 35 register pursuant to the sex offender registry law.  However,
  2  1 the bill provides an exception for kidnapping in the third
  2  2 degree or false imprisonment which is committed by the minor's
  2  3 parent.
  2  4    The definition of the term "sexually violent offense" is
  2  5 also amended by striking the offense of false imprisonment.
  2  6 This offense is now contained in the definition of "criminal
  2  7 offense against a minor" which requires registration if the
  2  8 offense is against a minor but not an adult.
  2  9    An offender convicted of an offense requiring registration
  2 10 pursuant to the sex offender registry chapter, is required to
  2 11 register the person's name, telephone number, and home address
  2 12 with the county sheriff for a period of 10 years commencing
  2 13 after placement on probation and parole or another form of
  2 14 release from custody.
  2 15    This bill takes effect upon enactment.
