sex offenders; electronic monitoring
HB 2413 amends Arizona's sex offender registration law (ARS § 13-3821) to expand registration requirements for individuals convicted of specific sex offenses against minors. It directly affects people convicted of 22 listed offenses - including child sexual abuse, trafficking, and certain repeated indecency violations - who must register with local sheriffs within 10 days of conviction or 72 hours after entering Arizona. Key provisions require registrants to provide detailed personal information (including online identifiers, vehicle details, and child custody status), and extend registration obligations to those employed or enrolled in school in Arizona for more than 14 consecutive days. The bill does not address electronic monitoring; its focus is solely on broadening registration rules and data collection for sex offenders.

MODERATE
The bill was reorganized from a standard legislative format into a structured statute with new subsections (F through S) that clarify registration termination rules, define key terms like 'school' and 'transient,' and mandate specific reporting procedures. A significant new requirement was added in subsection I(4)(d)(ii), which allows courts to order global positioning system (GPS) or electronic monitoring for juveniles who lack a permanent address until they secure one.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to include clearer definitions for 'school' and 'transient' status, and it now explicitly mandates electronic monitoring for certain juveniles without fixed addresses.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new requirement (Subsection I(4)(d)(ii)) allowing courts to order GPS or electronic monitoring for juveniles who do not have a permanent address until they secure one.
Added new subsections (F through S) to clarify when registration duties terminate for juveniles, how to report changes in enrollment or employment, and how to handle online identifiers.
DEFINITION
Added new definitions for 'school' (including nonpublic kindergarten programs) and 'transient' (persons without a single permanent dwelling place) in Subsection S.
TECHNICAL
Converted the text from a standard bill introduction format into a structured statute with numbered subsections and clear definitions.
