Arizona Attorney Pushes to Loosen State Registry Removal Requirements

February 20, 2019, 12:47 pm

County Attorney Bill Montgomery is  supporting a bill in the Arizona House that would allow more registrants to become eligible to have their names removed from the Arizona’s sex offender registry.

However, the bill would also add new requirements for anyone who wants to be removed from the registry. They must be at least 35 years old, and cannot have been convicted of more than one offense involving more than one victim. The bill specifically excludes a host of offenses, including sexual assault, child molestation, child prostitution, child sex trafficking or sexual exploitation of a minor. The bill would keep in place a pre-existing exclusion for anyone deemed by the court to be sexually violent.
