Section 272-19-011 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION CONTACTS

011.01 A person who is required to register must notify the Sheriff of the county in which they reside in writing of each postsecondary educational institution at which they work, carry on a vocation, or attend school within three (3) working days of beginning the employment or attendance. A person residing outside of Nebraska who is required to register and works, carries on a vocation, or attends a postsecondary educational institution will notify the Sheriff of the county in which the educational institution is located and register within three (3) working days of beginning the employment or attendance. This requirement is to comply with the provisions of the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act and applies to all sex offenders attending postsecondary educational institutions as well as all persons working at a campus. The focus is on the offender's presence at the campus for more than fourteen (14) consecutive days or for an aggregate period exceeding thirty (30) days in a calendar year rather than on any relationship with the institution. A sex offender who is gainfully employed by a private catering company but works on campus or even an unpaid volunteer for a charitable organization doing research at a campus library is included in this definition.

This provision also requires a person who is incarcerated to register if he or she is attending classes on the campus of a postsecondary educational institution.

011.02 The registrant will notify the Sheriff or Sheriffs in writing of any change in this employment or attendance status within three (3) working days of the change.

011.03 Notice to the Sheriff of this contact with postsecondary educational institutions should be made on a form approved by the Nebraska State Patrol. This requirement is independent of and in addition to registration requirements. Having previously registered does not satisfy this requirement. The initial information can, however, be provided at the time of registration.

011.04 A Sheriff receiving a postsecondary educational institution contact notice or change of information form will forward the information to the Nebraska State Patrol on the day it is received and in a manner proscribed by the Nebraska State Patrol.

011.05 Within three (3) working days of receipt of any information or a change of status pertaining to a postsecondary educational institution, the Nebraska State Patrol will inform the law enforcement agency having responsibility for the campus where the institution is located. This notification shall go to the affected campus police, if any, or to the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction where the institution is located.
