Expands the definition of violent or sexual offenses and requires certification for certain offenders.

This bill revises the definition of "violent or sexual offense" to include additional crimes such as attempted lewdness with a child and statutory sexual seduction. It also requires a certification from a psychologist or psychiatrist that the offender does not represent a high risk to reoffend before a court can grant probation or suspend the sentence for certain offenses. The bill applies to offenses involving minors, pornography, and sexual conduct between educators and students.
