§846E-6  Requirement to register a change of
registration information; verification by the attorney general.  (a)  A
covered offender required to register under this chapter, who changes any of
the covered offender's registration information after an initial registration
with the attorney general, shall notify the attorney general of the new
registration information in writing within three working days of the change. 
For purposes of this section, a person shall be deemed to have established a
new residence during any period in which the person is absent from the person's
registered residence for ten or more days.  If, at any time, a covered offender
required to register under this chapter is absent from the person's registered
residence for ten or more days and fails to establish a new residence within
the ten days that the covered offender is absent from their registered
residence, the covered offender, in addition to notifying the attorney general
in writing within three working days that the covered offender no longer
resides at the covered offender's registered residence, shall also report to
any police station in the State by the last day of every month for verification
of identity by photograph and fingerprint impression until the covered offender
establishes a new residence and notifies the attorney general in writing of the
actual address of the new residence.  Each time the covered offender reports to
a police station, the covered offender shall disclose every location where the
covered offender has slept in the previous month.  If the new residence is in
another state that has a registration requirement, the person shall register
with the designated law enforcement agency in the state to which the person
moves, within the period of time mandated by the new state's sex offender
registration laws.



(b)  If the attorney general receives notice
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that a covered offender required to be
registered under this chapter or under any federal law has entered the State,
the attorney general shall notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the
offender's new residence.



(c)  If the attorney general cannot verify the
address of or locate a covered offender required to be registered under this
chapter or under federal law, the attorney general immediately shall notify the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. [L 1997, c 316, pt of §2; am L 1998, c 194,

Case Notes



 



  As the registration requirements of chapter 846E do not
interfere with any of a sex offender's protected liberty interests, the
protections of procedural due process are not triggered.  97 H. 285, 36 P.3d
1255.
