The Arizona Senate President has removed a big hurdle to the proposed reform that would allow more registrants to be removed from that state’s registry. The bill will now be moving to the senate floor for a vote.
Currently, most people who are required to register as sex offenders in Arizona are ineligible to ever be removed from the registry. Only people convicted of consensual sex with a minor who is at least 15 years old are eligible now, and only if they were under 22 years old at the time of the crime. HB2613 would make people convicted of a number of other sex crimes eligible to terminate their registration requirement. Offenders would have to be at least 35 years old, have gone at least 10 years without another felony or sex crime, and meet several other criteria in order to be able to petition a court to end their registration under HB 2613.
