H Chapter 102, Acts, Regular Session, 2026

Aug 13, 2026

Summary

The bill requires people convicted of certain child, vulnerable‑adult, and sexual offenses to be placed on a new Central Abuse Registry and the existing Sex Offender Registry, but they will pay only one $125 yearly fee. The State Police will collect the fee, use it for police mental‑health programs, and can place a lien for non‑payment, though failure to pay won’t affect supervised release. It also sets detailed registration information, timelines, and notice duties for officials.
