188 | information that indicated that the offender met the criteria |
189 | for designation as a sexual predator based on a violation of a |
190 | similar law in another jurisdiction, |

201 | offender meets the criteria for designation as a sexual |
202 | predator. If the court makes a written finding that the offender |
203 | is a sexual predator, the offender must be designated as a |
204 | sexual predator, must register or be registered as a sexual |
205 | predator with the department as provided in subsection (6), and |

216 | court shall make a written finding at the time such offender is |
217 | determined to be a sexually violent predator under chapter 394 |
218 | that such person meets the criteria for designation as a sexual |
219 | predator for purposes of this section. The clerk shall transmit |
220 | a copy of the order containing the written finding to the |
221 | department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; |
222 | 2. An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria |

225 | 1, 1993, is a sexual predator, and the sentencing court must |
226 | make a written finding at the time of sentencing that the |
227 | offender is a sexual predator, and the clerk of the court shall |
228 | transmit a copy of the order containing the written finding to |
229 | the department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; or |
230 | 3. If the Department of Corrections, the department, or |
231 | any other law enforcement agency obtains information which |
232 | indicates that an offender who establishes or maintains a |
233 | permanent, or temporary, or transient residence in this state |
234 | meets the sexual predator criteria described in paragraph (4)(a) |
235 | or paragraph (4)(d) because the offender was civilly committed |
236 | or committed a similar violation in another jurisdiction on or |
237 | after October 1, 1993, the Department of Corrections, the |
238 | department, or the law enforcement agency shall notify the state |
239 | attorney of the county where the offender establishes or |
240 | maintains a permanent, or temporary, or transient residence of |
241 | the offender's presence in the community. The state attorney |
242 | shall file a petition with the criminal division of the circuit |
243 | court for the purpose of holding a hearing to determine if the |
244 | offender's criminal record or record of civil commitment from |
245 | another jurisdiction meets the sexual predator criteria. If the |
246 | court finds that the offender meets the sexual predator criteria |
247 | because the offender has violated a similar law or similar laws |
248 | in another jurisdiction, the court shall make a written finding |
249 | that the offender is a sexual predator. |
250 |
|
251 | When the court makes a written finding that an offender is a |
252 | sexual predator, the court shall inform the sexual predator of |
253 | the registration and community and public notification |
254 | requirements described in this section. Within 48 hours after |
255 | the court designating an offender as a sexual predator, the |
256 | clerk of the circuit court shall transmit a copy of the court's |
257 | written sexual predator finding to the department. If the |
258 | offender is sentenced to a term of imprisonment or supervision, |

695 | department, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, |
696 | the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile |
697 | Justice, the personnel of those departments, or any individual |
698 | or entity acting at the request or upon the direction of any of |
