AN ACT CONCERNING ENFORCEMENT OF ADDRESS VERIFICATIONS FOR SEX OFFENDERS.

HB 6633 (2025) allows sex offender registrants to verify their address by calling the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection when USPS mail is unavailable. It requires courts to treat failure to verify as a minor infraction - not a serious violation - if the failure results from late/lost mail, illness, homelessness, or other qualifying circumstances. The bill directly affects individuals on the sex offender registry who face mail access challenges. It modernizes enforcement by adding a phone verification option and reducing penalties for non-compliance due to uncontrollable factors. The law aims to improve compliance while providing reasonable flexibility for registrants.
