SUBJECT: House Changes to S.B. 1301 – community notification; warrants
________________________________________________________________________________
As passed by the Senate, S.B. 1301 expedites the ability of law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant for a sex offender who fails to register or re-register. In addition, S.B. 1301 allows the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to request the county attorney or, if appropriate, the Attorney General (AG), petition the court for an arrest warrant for a sex offender who fails to register or re-register.
The House of Representatives amended the bill by removing the ability of DPS to request that the AG petition the court for an arrest warrant for a sex offender who fails to register or re-register.
