“Today’s
report by Auditor Bump emphasizes the need to strengthen our sex offender
registry system, and to compel the availability and sharing of critical
information. Providers, parents, and all of us need information to keep
kids out of harm’s way, and the legislation filed by Senate Republicans and
others will make systemic changes to ensure that it’s available, and that sex
offender classifications accurately portray the risk posed by known offenders.
There
is no excuse and no justification for allowing sex offender information to be
inaccurate, outdated, or inaccessible, and it’s time for comprehensive reform
and legislative action.”
