LC 3854 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise notification requirements related to the registration of sexual and violent offenders

This bill amends Montana's sexual and violent offender registration laws to clarify notification procedures and registration duration requirements. It requires county attorneys to notify the Attorney General's Office when a petition to relieve an offender of their registration duty is filed. The legislation also establishes specific timelines for when offenders may petition for relief from registration, with violent offenders eligible after 10 years and sexual offenders eligible after 10 to 25 years depending on their offense level. Additionally, the bill outlines criteria courts must consider when deciding whether to grant relief, including the offender's compliance with registration requirements and whether continued registration serves public safety.
