SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION - S.B. 569: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 569 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Shirley Johnson
Committee: Families, Mental Health and Human Services
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to make revisions consistent with Senate Bill 566, which would amend the Sex Offenders Registration Act. The bill would take effect on September 1, 1999, and is tie-barred to Senate Bill 566.
The bill would require that an applicant for a driver's license have his or her image captured or reproduced when an application for a driver's license was made, if the applicant were required to maintain a valid driver's license or official State personal identification card under the Sex Offenders Registration Act.
The Department of State Police would have to provide to the Secretary of State updated lists of persons required to be registered under the Sex Offenders Registration Act, and required to maintain a valid driver's license or official State personal identification card. The Secretary of State would have to make the images of those persons available to the Department of State Police as provided in the Sex Offenders Registration Act.
The bill also would prohibit driver's license renewal by mail if the renewing licensee were a person required to maintain a valid driver's license or official State personal identification card under the Sex Offenders Registration Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
Senate Bills 567 through 570 would have a minimal fiscal impact on State departments and local law enforcement agencies. The bills would require some minor additional costs for departments and agencies that already assume similar duties under the Sex Offenders Registration Act. These costs would include clerical and information programming costs.
The bills also feature requirements that are mandated by the Federal Jacob Wetterling Act, that, if not placed in State law, could result in a 10% reduction to the State of Federal grant funding under the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program. Failure to enact the Federal mandates in these bills could result in a loss of $1.6 million in Federal funds to State and local agencies.
