Section 272-19-014 - ENFORCEMENT OF VIOLATIONS OF THE ACT
Current through March 20, 2024
014.01 Violations of the Act include: failure to register as required; failure to make proper notification of changes to any information provided to the Sex Offender Registry; failure to sign the notification form provided by the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry, the court, the County Treasurer, the Department of Correctional Services, or the Department of Motor Vehicles; failure to appear for verification within the prescribed time limits; and providing false information on the registration or verification forms. Only persons required to register under the Act can be prosecuted for violation of the Act.
014.02 Any period during which a person knowingly or willfully fails to comply with registration requirements as set out in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-4005 will extend the registration end date. The Nebraska State Patrol will calculate this time, day for day from the first day the person is verified to be out of compliance until they become compliant with registry requirements. This amount of time will be added to the date on which registration requirements are satisfied if the registration is for a period less than lifetime.
014.03 Any person required to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act who violates the Act can receive penalties as prescribed in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-4011.
014.04 A violation of these regulations is an infraction as set forth in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-431. The penalty set out in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-436 is a fine of $100 for the first offense and up to a fine of $500 for subsequent offenses. Persons who are required to register under the Act can be prosecuted for violation of the regulations.
014.05 Any law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in the area in which a person resides, has a temporary domicile, maintains a habitual living location, is employed, carries on a vocation, or attends school will investigate and enforce violations of the Sex Offender Registration Act.
014.06 At any time that a person required to register under the Act violates the registry requirements and cannot be located, the registry information will reflect that the person has absconded, a warrant shall be sought for the person's arrest, and the United States Marshal's Service shall be notified.
