Concerning juveniles who have been adjudicated of a sex offense.

  • Provides that juveniles who committed class A sex or kidnapping offenses at age 14 years or younger and juveniles who have committed a non-class A sex or kidnapping offense may petition the court to be relieved from the duty to register two years after being released from confinement.
