Meagan's Law Sex Offender Registry Requirement

When convicted of a sex offense, there is a classification hearing to determine the level of severity of the offense and the sex offender registry requirement. Classification in the least serious category does not require registration and does not impair many civil liberties.

However, the most serious offenses require registration and restrict the individual from being in the presence of children or the individual in which the crime involved. This often limits the ability to be present at family gatherings and move about within the community following completion of a sentence.
