Sex offender registry; require registration with the sheriff of the county of residence in addition to under requirements.

HB 843 requires sex offenders in Mississippi to register directly with their local county sheriff (in addition to existing state-level requirements) when moving, changing residence, or updating registration details. It mandates that offenders provide specific information to the sheriff within a set timeframe, including current addresses, employment details, vehicle identification, online usernames, and other personal data. This applies to anyone convicted of a sex offense who lives, works, or attends school in Mississippi. The bill updates existing registration procedures to make county sheriffs the primary point of contact for these updates, streamlining local notification. It does not change the list of offenses requiring registration or the core registration timeline.
