LANSING. The Michigan State Police (MSP) is reminding registered sex offenders convicted of felony-listed offenses that the 15-day, quarterly address verification began October 1. During this period, state law requires these offenders to report in person to their local law enforcement agency to verify their address or face a graduated penalty ranging from a 93-day misdemeanor to a four-year felony.

Felony-listed offenses include: Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First, Second, Third and Fourth Degree; Sexually Delinquent Person; Accosting Children for Immoral Purposes (first and second offense); Child Sexually Abusive Commercial Activity; Distributing or Promoting Child Sexually Abusive Activity; Child Sexually Abusive Material; Sodomy; Gross Indecency; Kidnapping; Child Kidnapping; Pandering; and Assault with Intent to Commit Criminal Sexual Conduct.

Per Public Act 295 of 1994, known as the "Sex Offenders Registration Act," offenders convicted of a felony-listed offense must report to their city/township police department, county sheriff or local MSP post to verify their address during the first 15 days of January, April, July and October.

Offenders convicted of misdemeanor listed offenses are required to report to their local law enforcement agency to verify their address yearly, January 1 through January 15.

All offenders are also required to report a change of address within 10 days of moving or face a four-year felony.

The Sex Offenders Registration Act allows for the arrest of an offender who is not in compliance with the Act's reporting requirements. Violators may be arrested during a traffic stop or any other contact with law enforcement. Additionally, law enforcement agencies conduct random address checks to verify offender compliance.
