SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION & FEDERAL LAW

Summary

The bill revises New Mexico’s Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act so it complies with the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. It requires any sex offender who lives, works, or attends school in the state—even if already registered elsewhere—to register with the county sheriff and be listed in a central public database. The goal is to give law‑enforcement agencies more information to protect the public.
