ACSOL will conduct a phone meeting on Tuesday, September 26, at 5 p.m. to discuss the new Tiered Registry Law. The 90-minute meeting will begin with an overview provided by attorneys Janice Bellucci and Chance Oberstein followed by questions and answers.

Will there be a recording of the session to listen at a later date?
Unfortunately, I will also be unavailable.
Will the phone meeting be recorded?
Will potential legal challenges to the Static 99 be addressed?
I hope 647.6 misdemeanor public site inclusion/exclusion is addressed.
I cannot join the meeting as I’m working during that time.
Starts in half hour!
Ms. Bellicci I just want to say thank you for all the hard work, time and dedication you have put into helping us to be able to breath. From the bottom of I and my families heart we say than you and thank the almighty for the gift he gave you. Do you have an e-mail or another way to be contacted , I have a question or two?
I apologize for the misspell in your name, I was writing so fast.
Missed it because of time zone difference. Did Janice and Co address the 647.6 public website issue?
Static 99R…My offense is attempted 288(a) which is Tier 2? But my Static 99R score (self taken) is a -1 at the time of my release in 2003 (before Static 99R) so does make me a Tier 1
The conference call was outside of my telephone plan. Wish I knew that beforehand.
Anyway, I just listened to it.

Very impressive. We are lucky to have very such generous and noble people working on this. Thank you.
One question that stands out after listening to it pertains to the Static 99.
I thought maybe the scoring “upon release” limited the reach of the Static 99 to when it was adopted as a tool and was therefore implemented upon release. This could go to the overall tier system as centered “upon release” before the eligibility time period begins.
Both Janice and Chance stated, if I understood it correctly, that we would have to pay for a Static 99 privately. Part of a psych eval that included a Static 99 could run up to about $1000 and we might need the Static 99 score, or it would at least help, when petitioning to be removed from the registry.
Of course, I would prefer that the legislation took into account that the Static 99 validly expires after so many years and it would therefore become moot and not reliable, hence the “upon release” language to avoid staleness and possible ex post facto issues. We can’t have it done privately “upon release” when we were released over 20 years ago. Might be an open door to challenge if indeed a private Static 99 is required.
Ok sorry couldn’t call in, but I finally listened in to the recording. I share concerns with regard to the Static 99R. It says in the Coding Rules that the Static 99R is only valid for TWO years after release and that risk is half after FIVE years for a person who stays offense free. That kind of makes sense since CASOMB’s UNPUBLISHED study examines the Static 99R for only FIVE YEARS! So why is the tiered registry saying it’s OK to use this very limited tool to label someone ‘high risk’ and tier 3 for LIFE?? It’s absolutely insane and lacks any logic!
Thank you so much for this recording. It certainly answers many of my questions. Janice and Chance…..appreciated ALL that you do!!
Whoa. You incur an infraction that is not sex related in the future and it will affect your civil status for a sex conviction? That makes absolutely no sense. That additional years to get off of registry is added punishment!
I listened to the recording. As I understand it….Currently Fed CP felons are to be put on Tier 3. However we have three years approximately to petition for the reduction to a Misdemeanor charge, resulting in a tier 1 status and auto max of 10 years registry and, as it is now also, exemption from the public Megan’s list. Having said all that, the option of petitioning with the use of a lawyer, the possible static 99 test will cost each person a substantial amount of money. I am reminded that upon my son’s original arrest, he took tests that cost money, and we went in debt for $30,000 for a lawyer that got the same sentencing for him as all the other’s in the courtroom who used public defenders. I want so much, since he served six years, and has been on supervised release for three years now, working, has not offended in any way, that this hope will not be a repeat of 9 years ago. I so want hope. I will do, my other sons will do, he will do whatever it takes to make this happen…….and that is the right thing to do….is there HOPE? Is there?
Janice is there any way to inform us; Will we need to pay a lawyer to place the request for removal or will we be able to place the request by ourselves ? Simply put if we have to pay for lawyer each time a request is made this could be very expensive considering that it is possible or likely to be turned down on multiple tries. I am out of state and am not required to register in the state I am in. Can you give an idea of how the process will work.
