A bill for an act establishing a domestic abuse offender registry, and providing penalties.

Summary

The bill requires the Iowa Department of Public Safety to maintain an online list of people convicted of domestic abuse assault who have prior convictions of the same crime. Courts must order these repeat offenders to register, pay a $150 fee, and the public can view their name, birthdate, conviction details and photo, while personal identifiers are kept private. Registry entries are removed after 2, 5, or 10 years depending on how many prior offenses the person has.
