Significant changes to Nevada’s sex offender registration system are in effect. Assembly Bill 579 (AB 579) aligns Nevada sex offender registration laws with the federal requirements of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.
While enacted in 2007, AB 579 has been on hold pending the outcome of litigation to stop implementation. On April 27, 2018, the Nevada Supreme Court denied further delay to implementation and authorized AB 579 to take effect. Full Article
Everyone has to look at Trish’s and her cohorts post on the Sac meeting link. Especially those that have helped me on my case….
I contacted my caseworker today and as of now there has been no stay filed. The reporting changes does suck but the bigger issue to me is now the petitioning to be taken off of it (eventually) when you follow all the rules to be removed. It used to be that no matter what tier you were in, after 10 years, completing classes, paying all your fees, etc. you could petition to be removed from the registry. That is no longer the case, as I asked my caseworker today. Only tier I can petition after 10 years. Tier II can now petition after 25 years. Tier III CANNOT petition at all to be removed. Tier III is effectively now for life, though at some point you could try to hire a lawyer to fight it and be removed.
Shell said there’s no real option to prevent the names from going online on Monday, but that the state-based legal case on the constitutionality of the law overall is still alive.
That is what the new article said….sounds like we all need to call them
A ~ I can’t even imagine how you must feel. Last year, he could have been off the registry, and this year he is deemed so dangerous that he will be a Tier III? How does that even make sense at all? If he wasn’t a threat then, he is definitely not a threat now. This is how ridiculous this whole scheme is, and nobody seems to realize this? I hope you can fight this, pleading common sense here.
@A
There is another lawyer thats been working on this. His name is draskovic. I dont know if i spelled it right but thats who my fiancee is with now. We will fight. We will demand that this is unconstitutional!!! Everyone should start contacting the office of adam laxalt, all our representives hell even take it federal. Show everyone we will not go quitely into the night!!! But we need more then just a few people. Our families have rights and now is the time to fight for them!!!
Well they just put out another story about this and its very disheartening it said
“There will no longer be an option for a reconsideration hearing of the assigned tier level.”
This is so messed up. Peoples lives are ruined and no one cares
The aclu website states they take cases that affect a large group of people. Come on guys lets all file!!! Whats the worse they can say? No? I think we should all do it
@Steve
Maybe I’ve missing on the 6th circuit deal but I’ve been reading sooooo much these past few weeks I’ve almist lost tracking of things. Can you please enlighten me or point me in the right direction?
Ok guys!!! I printed out the form. Is anyone else going to do this?!?! Print out the ACLU form!!! Bring it down there by no later then monday!!! They helped the 6th circut and since we have no appeal option we have a good chance they will help us but we all need to stand up and fight!!!! I need all of you with me!!! Our families deserve this!!!!!
Sorry. I’ve been away for a minute. Setting up my security system. However everything you all are doing and saying is exactly right I have already filed with the ACLU. I hope everyone else does too. This really needs to be done. The more people that file. The more people it will help.
You can file against Adam laxalt. Or the Attorney General’s office itself. You may also be able to file against the governor since he governs the state of Nevada and basically highest ranking official. However in answer to your question I filed against Adam laxalt. And I don’t think you need to be so exact. If they pick up your case. They should actually start questioning everything and they don’t know if you’ll meet with an attorney at that point or not to be able for them to decide exactly what’s going on I’m sure that they would have more questions
Well we filed too!!! Now we just wait and pray that someone helps us bc this is just wrong to do to people!!!!!

Even though is ex post facto still cant find a lawyer willing to help fight this. The lawyer we do have just tells us they are doing everything they can. No other explanation
Did anyone get a visit from P & P? I found a notice on my door, as I was at a friend’s house during much of the day. I’m on lifetime supervision, but of course the conditions and restrictions were lifted a couple years ago on that. Could this visit have been due to AB 579?
