Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA)

The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) is a federal law that requires certain individuals convicted of sex offenses to register their personal information with authorities. This includes details like their name, address, and offense history. The goal is to enhance public safety by making information accessible to communities, law enforcement, and other agencies so they can monitor and respond to potential threats. SORNA provides a standardized framework for registration across states, ensuring consistent reporting and notification procedures nationwide.
