NV- New Sex Offender Law On Hold

6-27-2008 Nevada:

A judge has temporarily halted a new Nevada sex offender law. District Judge David Wall granted a preliminary injunction that will prevent Clark County from enforcing the law, which was set to take effect July 1st.

The so-called "Adam Walsh Act" would change the way convicted sex offenders are categorized and monitored. Judge Wall has granted the injunction until August 29th, when he will hear arguments on a constitutional challenge brought by the Nevada ACLU.

Among other things, the law would require the most serious, or "Tier 3" sex offenders to register with authorities every 90 days, have their personal information posted on a state website, and in some cases wear GPS monitoring devices. ..News Source.. by KXNT Nevada
