National Registered Sex Offender Laws

Arizona Sex Offenders

Arizona Sex Offenders Law is the state’s version of “Megan Law” adopted in June 1996. The law protects the Arizona Citizens from re-offending sex offenders . The law notifies the public whenever a convicted sex offender get’s out of Jail or is on probation.

Everyone in Arizona has access to this information. The law ensures information on Sex offenders is on the internet.

The law also makes provision for sex offenders registered in another state but visiting Arizona. Every sex offender that will be in Arizona for more than 10 days (for any reason) must register in Arizona. Transients register as “Travelers with no Home” in the state.

Arizona sex law controls how many offenders on probation can live around a multi-family dwelling to avoid clustering. The bill also states that Level 3 sex offenders may not live within 1000 feet of a day care center, school, or children park.
