- sex offenders to register and maintain a current registration in each jurisdiction where the offender resides, is an employee, or is a student.
SORNA also sets forth requirements for sex offender registries, to include specified information, duration of registration, and in-person verification of sex offender registration information, as well as participation in the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), and the utilization of the SORNA Exchange Portal.
The SMART Office is interested in proposals that facilitate, enhance and maintain jurisdictional
