TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator Fred Madden (D – Gloucester, Camden) that would ensure sex offenders are registering with local authorities has cleared the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
The bill, S1413, would require the state’s Attorney General to conduct an annual review of certain former offenders who were released from incarceration or involuntary commitment in the previous calendar year. The goal would be to ensure individuals who were required to register as sex offenders properly registered with local law enforcement.
