The AG has proposed amending IC 18-8310, the statute which establishes the requirements and procedure for removing someone from the sex offender registry. There are three main changes.First, it would require service of the petition for removal on the central registry and gives it standing to appear and participate in the proceedings.
Second, it requires the court to make written findings and conclusions.
Third, it requires the court to state that it has "reviewed the petitioner's criminal history and has determined that petitioner is not a recidivist, has not been convicted of an aggravated offense or has not been designated as a violent sexual predator" in addition to the current requirement that the court find the petitioner "is not a risk to commit a new violation for any violent crime or crime identified in section 18-8304, Idaho Code."
