HSB 706 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the use of electronic monitoring for sex offenders.

This Iowa bill (HSB 706) requires electronic monitoring for certain sex offenders who cannot verify their residence as part of their supervision. It directly affects sex offenders subject to Iowa’s registration and verification requirements (under Sections 692A.104 and 692A.108) when they fail to provide proof of where they live. The law mandates this tracking as an additional condition, alongside other supervision terms, without replacing existing risk assessments or juvenile court procedures for minors. The bill does not alter general supervision rules but adds this specific requirement for those unable to confirm their residence.
