Domestic Violence Offender Registration Act.

Summary

The bill would make people convicted of specified serious domestic‑violence crimes register their name, address, birth place, photo, fingerprints and other details with local law enforcement for up to 10 or 20 years. The Department of Justice would keep a central database, publish certain data on a public website, and allow offenders to petition for early removal if they show rehabilitation.
