AZ Won't Meet Sex Offender Registry Deadline

Shame on them!

By July 1, states will have to bring their sex offender registries in line with new federal standards; Arizona will not make the deadline.

The Adam Walsh Act requires states to organize sex offenders into three categories and keep accurate data on their whereabouts, e-mail addresses and employers, among others, in order to create a national sex offender registry. States are also required to post photographs of sex offenders online.

Arizona's current registry contains basic information on the whereabouts and appearances of medium- and high-level offenders.
