Passed Senate 71-28, 1 not voting with 96% of Democrats supporting, 65% of Republicans opposing.
This bill has not been reviewed as it is an Appropriations bill. However, the portion of this bill that relates to SORNA (Title I of AWA) states the following:
Community Oriented Policing Services
For activities authorized by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-322); the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (`the 1968 Act'); the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-162); subtitle D of title II of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296), which may include research and development; and the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-177); the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-180); the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-248) (the `Adam Walsh Act'); and the Justice for All Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-405), $658,500,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That any balances made available through prior year deobligations shall only be available in accordance with section 505 of this Act.

(B) $1,000,000 for the National Sex Offender Public Registry;
I am totally lost for words as to this further waste of money for a glorified telephone book with pictures that protects no one. Find the needle in the haystack; the needle being the really dangerous folks. The Garrido, the Sowell and others of that ilk. Where should one look, at the pink pages, the white pages, or the yellow pages?
