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

This bill requires local prosecutors to assess the risk of re-offense for sex offenders *before* they are released from prison, rather than after release as under current law. It removes the factor of the offender's future residence (which previously delayed risk assessment) and mandates prosecutors to evaluate specific criteria like criminal history, treatment response, and behavior. Based on this assessment, offenders are assigned to one of three risk levels, triggering different notification requirements: low-risk offenders prompt law enforcement alerts, moderate-risk offenders add community organization notifications (like schools), and high-risk offenders trigger public alerts. The bill directly affects sex offenders nearing release, prosecutors, and communities through revised notification protocols under New Jersey's Megan's Law.
