AN ACT To repeal sections 556.036, 566.093, 573.037, 589.400 and 589.417, RSMo 2000, relating to sex offenders, and to enact in lieu thereof six new sections relating to the same subject, with penalty provisions. A felony , or a prosecution pursuant to section 566.030, RSMo, or section 566.060, RSMo, may be commenced at any time. An offense is committed either when every element occurs, or, if a legislative purpose to prohibit a continuing course of conduct plainly appears, at the time when the course of conduct or the defendant's complicity therein is terminated.
Time starts to run on the day after the offense is committed.
A prosecution is commenced either when an indictment is found or an information filed. The chief law enforcement official shall forward a copy of the registration form required by section 589.407 to a city, town or village law enforcement agency located within the county of the chief law enforcement official, if so requested. Such request may ask the chief law enforcement official to forward copies of all registration forms filed with such official. The chief law enforcement official may forward a copy of such registration form to any city, town or village law enforcement agency, if so requested. The registration requirements of sections 589.400 through 589.425 are lifetime registration requirements unless all offenses requiring registration are reversed, vacated or set aside or unless the registrant is pardoned of the offenses requiring registration.
