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

This bill (A3674) 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 under current law. It removes "residence situation" (e.g., whether the offender lives in a supervised home) as a risk factor, since this cannot be known prior to release. Prosecutors must now use revised factors - like criminal history, treatment response, and recent behavior - to assign a risk level (low/moderate/high) and determine community notification requirements. This change directly affects sex offenders nearing release and county prosecutors responsible for pre-release evaluations.
