Requires prosecutors to determine risk of re-offense under Megan's Law prior to offender's release from incarceration.

This bill (A3088) amends New Jersey's Megan's Law to require county prosecutors to assess a sex offender's risk of re-offending *before* their release from prison, rather than after release as currently occurs. It specifies factors prosecutors must consider, including criminal history, treatment response, recent behavior, and psychological profiles, to assign one of three risk levels (low, moderate, or high). The risk level determines notification requirements: low risk triggers law enforcement notification, moderate risk adds community organizations (like schools), and high risk includes public notification. This change directly affects prosecutors, sex offenders nearing release, and communities where offenders will reside. The bill removes the current requirement to consider an offender's residence when determining risk, enabling assessments before release.
