National Registered Sex Offender Laws

Nebraska Sex Offenders

Nebraska Sex Offenders Law took effect in January 1, 1997. The law protects the residents of Nebraska by alerting them on sex offenders living in their community. Sex offenders convicted in Nebraska must register with the state’s Police Patrol.

Duration of registration depends on the nature of sex crime committed by the offender. Offenders jailed for less than one year will have to register for 15 years. Crimes with longer jail terms have 25 years of registration. Sex offenders with prior conviction before another sentence will register for life. Also, lifetime registrants from another state or country will also have to register for life in Nebraska.

Duration of registration starts counting from the first year an offender registers. For instance, an offender required to register for 25 years but skips the first 2 years will have the duration active from the year he registers.

Sex offenders in Nebraska must notify the local police of any changes to the registered information within 3 business days.

Persons convicted for a sex crime in another state but wishes to work, attend school, or move to Nebraska must notify the state’s police patrol. Failure report to the state’s police within 3 business days has severe consequences.
