Regarding Conv/Nolo Sex Offender Registration in Tennessee on or before January 1, 1990. Do they have it today?
- Category: Criminal
- Date:
- State: Tennessee
Answer:
In Tennessee, individuals who were convicted of a sexual offense before January 1, 1990, may still be required to register as sex offenders. The law mandates that offenders register if they were convicted of a sexual offense or violent sexual offense, regardless of when the offense occurred, as long as they meet certain conditions.
According to Tennessee law (Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-203), offenders must register within forty-eight hours of establishing residency, changing employment, or being released from probation or incarceration. Additionally, if they were required to register in another jurisdiction prior to moving to Tennessee, they must also register here.
There are provisions for termination of registration requirements after a certain period, but this typically applies to offenders who have not committed additional offenses and have complied with registration requirements. Offenders with prior convictions for sexual offenses are generally required to register for life.
