CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- The Nevada Supreme Court and the 2009 state Legislature are expected to conduct separate reviews of a new law on sex offenders that has been rejected in part by a lower court because of the way in which it deals with teenage offenders.
Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto says she anticipates that the law passed in 2007 will be revised during the 2009 session. She commented during a meeting of an advisory panel on juvenilet justice that's coming up with suggested statute changes for lawmakers.
Dan Kulin, spokesman for the Clark County district attorney's office, said his office will file a state Supreme Court appeal of a ruling by Clark County Family Court Judge William Voy that part of the law dealing with juveniles is unconstitutional.
The state law, based on the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act passed in 2006, included many teenage sex offenders 14 and older with adults under requirements for sex offender registration and community notification. ..more.. by Associated Press
