A bill to amend 1994 PA 295, entitled
"Sex offenders registration act,"
by amending section 7 (MCL 28.727), as amended by 2004 PA 237.
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.
