Supreme Court to Hear Case Challenging Sex Offender Registry Requirements

U.S. Supreme Court

The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a case involving a man who says he shouldn’t have to be on the sex offender registry because his conviction came before the 2006 federal mandatory listing law was enacted.

Congress, in writing the law, gave the attorney general the authority to decide when the registration requirements kicked in, and the Bush administration said it should apply to all sex offenders – including those whose convictions predated enactment.
