There is a MAJOR difference in "Where one can be found" -AND- "Where one resides." So, are lawmakers trying to corral homeless registrants more than non homeless registrants? If so, then that is discriminatory and actionable.4-7-2011 Nevada:
(AP) — Homeless and transient sex offenders would no longer be able to claim “no residence” as reason for not providing law enforcement with an address under a bill being discussed in the Nevada Legislature.
AB57 would require sex offenders who have no fixed address to provide the location or locations at which they may be found. Deputy Attorney General Brett Kandt told the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that the bill would make it easier to keep tabs on the not-truly transient.
AB57 would allow transient sex offenders to provide information such as street locations and homeless shelters in lieu of a permanent address. Kandt says it gives sex offenders the opportunity to adhere to the residence registration requirements and avoid being arrested for failure to comply. ..Source.. by NevadaApeal.com
