Lawmakers change sex offender registry rules; ACLU opposes

Lawmakers change sex offender registry rules; ACLU opposes By ANNA LIZ NICHOLSDecember 20, 2020 GMT LANSING, Mich. (AP) The Legislature approved changes last week to Michigan’s sex offender registry after federal courts declared the current policy unconstitutional. The new rules, approved by the Senate on Wednesday, would change aspects of registering and eliminate bans on living or being within 1,000 feet of schools. It also would give an offender seven days to register upon conviction. U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland had ruled that some changes in the current registry law made in the last two decades were too vague or impossible to enforce and therefore unconstitutional. A federal appeals court in 2016 said Michigan was treating people as “moral lepers” by imposing excessive restrictions.
