29-4001.  Act, how cited.Sections 29-4001 to 29-4014 shall be known and may be cited as the Sex Offender Registration Act.Source   Laws 1996, LB 645, § 1;  Laws 2006, LB 1199, § 17;  Laws 2009, LB97, § 23. Annotations  Use of a stakeholder group to determine the cutoff points for the three risk levels under the Sex Offender Registration Act does not render the risk assessment instrument arbitrary. Lein v. Nesbitt, 269 Neb. 109, 690 N.W.2d 799 (2005). The duty to register as a sex offender under Nebraska's Sex Offender Registration Act is collateral to a defendant's sentence on the underlying conviction. A trial court is not required to inform a defendant of the collateral consequence of his or her duty to register as a sex offender under Nebraska's Sex Offender Registration Act before accepting a plea of guilty or no contest, and such pleas are not rendered involuntary or unintelligent because the defendant was not aware of this requirement. State v. Schneider, 263 Neb. 318, 640 N.W.2d 8 (2002).
NE Code § 29-4001.01 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 29 - Criminal Procedure|29-4001.01 - Terms, defined.

29-4001.01 .  Terms, defined.For purposes of the Sex Offender Registration Act:(1) Aggravated offense means any registrable offense under section 29-4003 which involves the penetration of, direct genital touching of, oral to anal contact with, or oral to genital contact with (a) a victim age thirteen years or older without the consent of the victim, (b) a victim under the age of thirteen years, or (c) a victim who the sex offender knew or should have known was mentally or physically incapable of resisting or appraising the nature of his or her conduct;(2) DNA sample has the same meaning as in section 29-4103;(3) Habitual living location means any place that an offender may stay for a period of more than three days even though the sex offender maintains a separate permanent address or temporary domicile;(4) Minor means a person under eighteen years of age;(5) State DNA Database means the database established pursuant to section 29-4104; and(6) Temporary domicile means any place at which the person actually lives or stays for a period of at least three working days.Source  Laws 2009, LB97, § 24;  Laws 2009, LB285, § 3;  Laws 2015, LB292, § 5.  Annotations  Following the 2009 amendments to the Sex Offender Registration Act, a sentencing court has the authority to find that a defendant committed an aggravated offense as defined in subdivision (1) of this section. State v. Wilson, 306 Neb. 875, 947 N.W.2d 704 (2020). When a defendant pleads to an offense, such as first degree sexual assault pursuant to section 28-319, where the term "aggravated offense" is not a specifically included element of the offense, in order for lifetime community supervision to apply, a jury would need to find that the defendant had committed an aggravated offense, or the defendant must plead separately to the commission of an aggravated offense. State v. Nelson, 27 Neb. App. 748, 936 N.W.2d 32 (2019). To constitute "direct genital touching" for purposes of finding an aggravated offense under this section, there must be evidence that the actor touched the victim's genitals under the victim's clothing. State v. Kresha, 25 Neb. App. 543, 909 N.W.2d 93 (2018).
NE Code § 29-4002 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 29 - Criminal Procedure|29-4002 - Legislative findings.

29-4002.  Legislative findings.The Legislature finds that sex offenders present a high risk to commit repeat offenses. The Legislature further finds that efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect their communities, conduct investigations, and quickly apprehend sex offenders are impaired by the lack of available information about individuals who have pleaded guilty to or have been found guilty of sex offenses and who live, work, or attend school in their jurisdiction. The Legislature further finds that state policy should assist efforts of local law enforcement agencies to protect their communities by requiring sex offenders to register with local law enforcement agencies as provided by the Sex Offender Registration Act.Source   Laws 1996, LB 645, § 2;  Laws 2002, LB 564, § 2.

Legislative findings.The Legislature finds that DNA data banks are an important tool in criminal investigations, in the exclusion of individuals who are the subject of criminal investigations or prosecutions, in deterring and detecting recidivist acts, and in locating and identifying missing persons and human remains. Several states have enacted laws requiring persons convicted of certain crimes to provide genetic samples for DNA typing tests. Moreover, it is the policy of this state to assist federal, state, and local criminal justice and law enforcement agencies in the identification and detection of individuals in criminal investigations and in locating and identifying missing persons and human remains. It is in the best interest of this state to establish a State DNA Database for DNA records and a State DNA Sample Bank as a repository for DNA samples from individuals convicted of felony offenses and other specified offenses and from individuals for purposes of assisting in locating and identifying missing persons and human remains.Source   Laws 1997, LB 278, § 2;  Laws 2006, LB 385, § 3;  Laws 2006, LB 1113, § 29;  Laws 2010, LB190, § 3.
