LAS VEGAS — The Nevada Supreme Court has delayed the start of the sexual offender registry law, also known as the Adam Walsh Act. The new law, which was to go into effect Feb. 1, would make the names of more sex offenders publicly accessible. The law says a sex offender, as young as 14 years old, must now publicly register.
The Nevada Department of Public Safety expressed concerns about the manpower required to implement the law and sought a delay. Source

Letter to the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL; Nevada Supreme Court orders delay in enforcement of sex offender registration law By ADAM KEALOHA CAUSEY LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL I hope you can get this information out to the public. I am a Californian and on the registry for a “crime” that did not involve “sex” and there was no “victim”.

I imagine the lawyer’s are on standby right now. If they had a lick of sense they would give the money back to the SMART office and bow out of this rat’s… Read more »

I looked and all I found was this Nevada – Nevada RSOL Primary Contact: Charley B – nvrsolhelp@yahoo.com It’s a crying change because if registrants in Nevada ever needed an advocate it is now! Perhaps if you contacted Charley B he might be in a position to get your ideas and observations to someone that can make a difference/start an active RSOL-NV. My heart breaks for you and all of the other people on the Nevada registry going back to 1956, especially the children that will… Read more »
As a 1-time offender living in Nevada, I’m hopeful that maybe a court will rule against this unconstitutional beast, for once. Has the pendulum/wrecking ball finally started to lose momentum? Will people/courts wake up and realize that more is not better and renders a program more ineffective the bigger it gets? History should tell us that the best we can hope for is a delay in what we fear is inevitable, but maybe people will see the parallel to this and spying on them while they play Angry brds…”just in case.” Time will tell, but hopefully it won’t tell too… Read more »
