ER’S LICENSE REGISTRATION PROCESSES AS 
ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS 
FOR SEX OFFENDERS.

using driver’s license registration processes as additional 
registration requirements for sex offenders to improve the 
level of compliance with sex offender registration require-
ments for change of address upon relocation and other re-
lated updates of personal information, the Congress re-
quires the following studies: 
(1) Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Government Account-
ability Office shall complete a study for the Com-
•H.R. 4472 EH

eral law that required all State driver’s license sys-
tems to automatically access State and national 
databases of registered sex offenders in a form simi-
lar to the requirement of the Nevada law described 
in paragraph (2). The Government Accountability 
Office shall use the information drawn from this

countability Office shall seek the views of Federal 
and State law enforcement agencies, including in 
particular the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with 
regard to the anticipated effects of such a national 
requirement, including potential for undesired side 
effects in terms of actual compliance with this Act 
and related laws. 
(2) Not later than October 2006, the Govern-
ment Accountability Office shall complete a study to 
evaluate the provisions of Chapter 507 of Statutes
