SB808

Expands covered offender registration to include certain offenses against minors.

This bill amends Hawaii's covered offender registration laws to include offenders who commit sexual assault in the fourth degree against a minor who is at least sixteen years old while acting in a professional capacity. It also requires public disclosure for covered offenses committed against minors, regardless of whether the conviction was for a first-time misdemeanor offense. This change aims to mitigate the threat posed by sex offenders to public safety by ensuring that relevant information about these offenders is made public.
