NEW SEX OFFENDER LAW CHANGE!

Effective November 1, 2007, all sex offenders in the State of Oklahoma have been assigned a classification level. Currently, if the offender committed their offense outside the State of Oklahoma and they do not fall under the Aggravated or Habitual status, they are required to register annually for ten consecutive years. If the crime occurred inside the State of Oklahoma, Level 1, 2 or 3 is assigned by the Department of Corrections, Sex Offender Registry Unit in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma. Offenders assigned a Level 1 classification are required to register annually for fifteen consecutive years after the completion of their sentence. Level 2 offenders are required to register every six months for twenty five years after the completion of their sentence. Those offenders classified as Level 3 are required to register every ninety days for the remainder of their lifetime. These changes were made by the State of Oklahoma to comply in part with the "Adam Walsh Act", also known as "The Child Protect and Safety Act of 2006."
