I read that yesterday. I was kind of surprised to see the Adam Walsh Act mentioned. I would like to see what part of it pertains to 2257.
These are the highlights of the Act.
Establishes a comprehensive national system for the registration of sex offenders.
Establishes three tiers of sex offenders.
Requires all jurisdictions to enact criminal penalties for sex offenders who fail to comply with registration requirements.
Requires sex offenders to appear in person to verify their registration.
Imposes a fine and/or term of imprisonment for up to 20 years on sex offenders who knowingly fail to register.
Makes registration as a sex offender a mandatory condition of probation and supervised release.
Eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecutions of child abduction and felony sex offenses against children.
Directs the Attorney General to provide technical assistance to jurisdictions to help identify and locate sex offenders relocated due to a major disaster.
