Indiana Sex Offender Registry Requirements

What is the sex offender registry, what is the sex offender registry.

Every state and U.S. territory requires those convicted of sex offenses to be added to a registry to be monitored and tracked after their release back into the community.  Information about the offender is collected and shared with local and federal authorities, as well as the general public.  Requirements and restrictions are often placed on registered sex offenders.  That registration process is unique in each state and U.S. territory.

What is SORNA?

The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) was passed in 2006 as part of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act to provide federal standards for jurisdictions to follow.  SORNA calls for states and U.S. territories to meet minimum requirements for sex offender registration and notification.

Why Are the Requirements for Sex Offender Registration Different Everywhere?

While SORNA’s guidelines streamlined registration and notification requirements across the country, these requirements are far from uniform.  Each jurisdiction determines the details of their own registration process.  This leaves a patchwork of rules for sex offenders that vary widely depending on where a registrant lives or works.

Where PIN Comes In

Probation Information Network developed a list of questions regarding the sex offender registration requirements across the country.  These are questions that might concern the public, victims and their advocates, or those who are facing registration or are currently registered and their loved ones.  We then searched the statutes or code of each jurisdiction for the laws surrounding sex offender registration and notification.  Where necessary, we consulted with the law enforcement agency in charge of the jurisdiction’s registry to provide clear and concise answers to the following questions:

What is the duration of registration?

How long must a sex offender remain on the registry?  The length of time a sex offender must comply with registration requirements varies widely depending on the jurisdiction where the registrant lives, and the level of the offense committed.  All but 2 jurisdictions offer a path for eventual removal from the registry for at least some of their registrants.

Must the immediate community be notified directly, either by the offender or law enforcement?

Every jurisdiction has passive community notification in the form of a public sex offender registry website.  Concerned citizens are free to search the website and can sign up for email notifications if a sex offender moves into their neighborhood.  Some jurisdictions go even further and require active notification, where either law enforcement or the offender themselves is required to directly notify the immediate community that a sex offender is in the area.  This can take many forms, including electronic, mail, or in-person notification, publication in local newspapers, and community meetings.

What are the residence distance restrictions?

Are there any restrictions on where a registered sex offender can live?  Some jurisdictions restrict registrants from living within a measured distance of certain places.  This restriction could be for all registrants, or only for higher-level offenders or those under supervision.  Some jurisdictions do not have a state-wide restriction but do allow local jurisdictions to enact their own.

What are the employment distance restrictions?

Registered sex offenders are usually restricted from certain types of employment, and from working at establishments that specifically cater to minors.  Some jurisdictions go even further and restrict registrants from working within a measured distance of certain places.

• Is an employer’s information included on the public registry?

Returning citizens of every type need to find employment upon reentry, and sex offenders are no exception.  Some jurisdictions include registrants’ employment information on the public registry website.  This could be the employer’s address or in some cases the name of the employer.

Are online identifiers included on the public registry?

Some jurisdictions require registered sex offenders to report any identifiers they use online, such as email addresses and social media user names.  In some jurisdictions that information is included on the public registry website, separate from the registrant’s profile, in a feature that allows the public to search by specific identifiers.

Is a state-issued ID required to be labeled?

Some jurisdictions require a state-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, to be labeled to identify the holder as a registered sex offender.  This label could be the words “Sex Offender” printed on the ID in a prominent place or a more subtle designation known to law enforcement.

What is the cost of registration?

Is there a fee to register as a sex offender?  Some jurisdictions pass on some of their administrative costs to the registrants.  This could be a one-time fee paid only upon initial registration, or an ongoing fee paid annually or quarterly.  Some jurisdictions charge a fee every time a registrant updates their information.

How long can a registrant be in the state for work or education before registration is required?

Does a sex offender have to register if they work or go to school in a different state?  It depends on the state, and how long the registrant will be there.  Some jurisdictions require registrants to notify authorities immediately, while others allow limited stays without requiring registration.  Registrants currently under supervision usually need permission from their Parole or Probation Officer before traveling and should always consult their supervising officer.

How long can a registrant visit the state before registration is required?

Can a registered sex offender go on vacation?  Does a sex offender have to register if they visit a different state?  It depends on the state, and how long the registrant will be there.  Some jurisdictions require registrants to notify authorities immediately, while others allow limited stays without requiring registration.  Registrants currently under supervision usually need permission from their Parole or Probation Officer before traveling and should always consult their supervising officer.

The answers provided are taken directly from the laws found on the state or territory’s legislative website or, where necessary, from the website of the law enforcement agency in charge of the jurisdiction’s registry.  In some cases, we contacted state or territory officials for clarification and have directly quoted those conversations.

While we stand by our research, it is for informational purposes only.  It should not be considered legal advice and, while we strive to provide accurate and up to date information, it is not guaranteed to be complete or correct.  We provide links to each jurisdiction’s legislative and law enforcement websites and maintain a directory of lawyers who specialize in sex offender registration laws.  For those currently under supervision, consult with your Parole or Probation Officer for guidance.

In the Indiana Supreme Court In the Matter of the Petition of the Shelby County Courts for Administrative Rule 17 Emergency Relief Supreme Court Case No. 20S-CB-143 Order

The courts of Shelby County (hereinafter “courts”) en banc have petitioned this Court for emergency relief pursuant to Indiana Administrative Rule 17. The petition states that the World Health Organization has determined the outbreak of COVID-19 (“virus”) is a worldwide pandemic; national and Indiana states of emergency have been declared a a result; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has determined that “social distancing” among other preventative measures is necessary for the prevention of further spreading the virus, including cancellation of in-person gatherings of fifty (50) people or more for the next eight (8) weeks and other drastic steps.

The petition further states that due to a shortage of cleaning and sanitation products, the courts find that Shelby County does not possess adequate hygiene stations or sanitation supplies for the large volumes of people who regularly appear at the Shelby County courthouse.

The Honorable R. Kent Apsley has been appointed as the presiding Judge for this emergency. It appears from the petition that this emergency inhibits litigants’ and courts’ ability to comply with statutory deadlines and rules of procedure.

The Court therefore finds that good cause exists for granting emergency relief. Being duly advised, the Court GRANTS the petition, DECLARES pursuant to Indiana Administrative Rule 17 that an emergency exists in Shelby County, and APPROVES the plan as submitted.

The Court further ORDERS as follows to ensure the orderly and fair administration of justice during this emergency, effective March 17, 2020:

1. The Court authorizes the tolling, from the effective date of this order through May 4, 2020, of all laws, rules, and procedures setting time limits for speedy trials in criminal and juvenile proceedings, public health, mental health, and appellate matters; all judgments, support, and other orders; and in all other civil and criminal matters before the courts of Shelby County. Further, no interest shall be due or charged during this tolled period.

2. Through May 4, 2020, this Court authorizes immediate suspension of all criminal and civil jury trials, including those with a “fast and speedy” setting requested, beginning March 13, 2020 through May 4, 2020. The courts are directed to review no later than 2 April 17, 2020 whether continued suspension is necessary; and if it is not, to resume jury trials no later than May 4, 2020 to allow adequate notification of the jury pool. If the courts believe continued suspension is necessary, they may petition this Court to extend the suspension.

3. Through May 4, 2020, this Court authorizes the courts to continue all pre-trial conference and non-essential hearings, hold hearings by counsel only whenever possible, and allow counsel to appear remotely.

4. Through May 4, 2020, the courts may consider (a) the existence of flu or flu-like symptoms in any attorney, self-represented litigant, or witness expected to testify; or (b) exposure of such individuals to anyone who has or may have COVID-19; to constitute “good cause” to either appear remotely or continue a court setting, to the extent possible without violating statutory or constitutional rights.

5. Through May 4, 2020, the courts, as directed by each court’s presiding judge, are authorized to reduce the number of court staff members working and/or to permit working remotely if feasible; provided, however, that the courts shall maintain sufficient operations to handle emergency matters.

6. Through May 4, 2020, the courts are authorized, in their discretion and subject to applicable Constitutional limitations, to limit spectators (other than parties to the litigation and their attorneys) in courtrooms to the extent necessary to provide adequate social distancing.

7. The courts shall file a status update no later than April 29, 2020 to inform this Court of whether there is an ongoing need for emergency relief. Done at Indianapolis, Indiana, on 3/18/2020.

The Wells County Probation Department for many years prepared summary criminal history reports for individuals and agencies upon request.  Since Indiana probation departments are not depositories of public records, the practice of preparing these summaries was simply a courtesy service to the community.  However, due to limited resources the Probation Department staff discontinued these record search summaries for individuals or non-judicial agencies.

Therefore, individuals and non-judicial agencies are directed to contact the  Wells County Clerk  about accessing criminal records located in Wells County.  You may also wish to search records at the following public court access link:  Odyssey Case Management System

Some probationers may be permitted to travel outside the state of Indiana with permission of the court. Consult your probation officer at least 10 business days before making travel plans, and be prepared to provide at a minimum the information in the form provided here. (Note: if you have any conviction or adjudication for a sex offense as defined by Interstate Compact rules you may be subject to registration in the location in which you are traveling.)

For individuals who wish to transfer probation supervision you may utilize the interactive worksheet to determine if you meet minimum criteria for an interstate transfer.
