AN ACT
To repeal section 589.403, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to notification on the release of a sex offender.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 589.403, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 589.403, to read as follows:
589.403. 1. Any person to whom subsection 1 of section 589.400 applies who is paroled, discharged, or otherwise released from any correctional facility of the department of corrections or any mental health institution where such person was confined shall be informed by the official in charge of such correctional facility or mental health institution of the person's possible duty to register pursuant to sections 589.400 to 589.425. If such person is required to register pursuant to sections 589.400 to 589.425, the official in charge of the correctional facility or the mental health institution shall obtain the address where the person expects to reside upon discharge, parole or release, and shall report such address to the chief law enforcement official of the county or city not within a county where the person expects to reside upon discharge, parole or release.
2. The Missouri state highway patrol shall provide on its sex offender information web site a form that allows a person who seeks access to sex offender information to be notified by e-mail when a sex offender changes residence, employment, or school attendance to a location within a particular zip code or within a specified distance from an address, school, playground, or other area designated by the person. The Missouri state highway patrol shall provide such information by e-mail notification to a person who completes the form.
