HB 882 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies and establishes provisions relating to the sexual offender registry

HB 882 modifies Missouri's sexual offender registry requirements, directly affecting individuals required to register under state law. The bill mandates that registered offenders notify law enforcement within three business days of changes to residence, employment, email addresses, vehicle details, or temporary lodging. Tier I offenders must report annually in person, while Tier II offenders must report semiannually, both verifying their registration details during these visits. These changes aim to update notification procedures and ensure timely updates to the registry system.
