Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDCareer offenders must report in person to the sheriff's office every year during their birthday month to update registration data. This creates a recurring, location-specific duty for every registered individual.
The bill lowers the threshold for a permanent residence to just 3 consecutive days. This means a brief stay in a new county can trigger a new registration requirement and a change of address.
