THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 7. (1) A registration under this act shall be made on a

 

form provided by the department and shall be forwarded to the

 

department in the format the department prescribes, along with a

 

$35.00 registration fee for each original registration, except as

 

otherwise provided in section 5b. A registration shall contain all

 

of the following:

 

     (a) The individual's name, social security number, date of

 

birth, and address or expected address. An individual who is in a

 

witness protection and relocation program is only required to use

 


the name and identifying information reflecting his or her new

 

identity in a registration under this act. The registration and

 

compilation databases shall not contain any information identifying

 

the individual's prior identity or locale. The department shall

 

request each individual to provide his or her date of birth if it

 

is not included in the registration, and that individual shall

 

comply with the request within 10 days.

 

     (b) A brief summary of the individual's convictions for listed

 

offenses regardless of when the conviction occurred, including

 

where the offense occurred and the original charge if the

 

conviction was for a lesser offense.

 

     (c) A complete physical description of the individual.

 

     (d) The photograph required under section 5a.

 

     (e) The individual's fingerprints if not already on file with

 

the department. An individual required to be registered on

 

September 1, 1999 shall have his or her fingerprints taken not

 

later than September 12, 1999 if not already on file with the

 

department. The department shall forward a copy of the individual's

 

fingerprints to the federal bureau of investigation if not already

 

on file with that bureau.

 

     (f) Information that is required to be reported under section

 

4a.

 

     (g) The name and address of each internet service provider

 

used by the individual, together with the written consent of the

 

individual allowing the department or any other law enforcement

 

agency of this state or of a political subdivision of this state to

 

access the individual's internet account information, including,

 


but not limited to, the individual's internet account number or

 

address, internet sites visited by the individual, and electronic

 

mail sent and received by the individual. The department shall

 

promptly inform each internet service provider identified by the

 

individual under this subdivision of the individual's status as a

 

registered sex offender. The individual shall report to the

 

department any change in internet service reported under this

 

section within 24 hours after the change is made and shall provide

 

the consent required under this section to the department within 72

 

hours after making that report or as otherwise required by the

 

department.

 

     (2) A registration may contain the individual's blood type and

 

whether a DNA identification profile of the individual is

 

available.

 

     (3) The form used for registration or verification under this

 

act shall contain a written statement that explains the duty of the

 

individual being registered to provide notice of a change of

 

address under section 5, the procedures for providing that notice,

 

and the verification procedures under section 5a.

 

     (4) The individual shall sign a registration, notice, and

 

verification. However, the registration, notice, or verification

 

shall be forwarded to the department regardless of whether the

 

individual signs it or pays the registration fee required under

 

subsection (1).

 

     (5) The officer, court, or an employee of the agency

 

registering the individual or receiving or accepting a registration

 

under section 4 shall sign the registration form.

 


     (6) An individual shall not knowingly provide false or

 

misleading information concerning a registration, notice, or

 

verification.

 

     (7) The department shall prescribe the form for a notification

 

required under section 5 and the format for forwarding the

 

notification to the department.

 

     (8) The department shall promptly provide registration,

 

notice, and verification information to the federal bureau of

 

investigation and to local law enforcement agencies, sheriff's

 

departments, department posts, and agencies of other states

 

requiring the information, as provided by law.
