Following up with this story. I’d like to know what are NARSOLs opinions on the decision by the ALI to adopt the revised version of the new Model Penal Code on June 16 th 2021 eliminating nearly the entire registration. I see nothing happening in the near future for any registrants in favor of the changes ALI has came up with. I didn’t see what would happen to the existing registry if anything. There are only 14 states that have adopted the MPC in its entirety over the years. The rest are under common law. So will those 14 states be able to take advantage of these changes and does any NARSOL lawyers or any other lawyer believe the new MPC will actually take effect in any state? This of course is a dream come true for most registered citizens or is it just more mumbo jumbo that’s going no where? I know the MPC is only to help guide legislatures for changes. Obviously the ALI sees the devastation this registration is causing. How can over 150 high-ranking justices, scholar’s, lawyers, and prosecutors, see this registry needs to go and the damage it’s causing, yet 9 Supreme Justices can’t. I’d really like to see a follow up on this since it appeared in NARSOLs post and the decision has been made by the ALI to the changes of the model penal code. Thank you for your work timd.

So… What’s gonna happen with this? Just be shuffled to the bin of forgetfulness by ALI? What will be the result of this 6 months from now? More silence and sidestepping?

I just read this article and was wondering how long it will take for public dissemination to be in place. Does it take 2 or more years or longer? The reason I am asking is because my son will be released from prison in AZ in approximately 3 years and will be coming to live in NM. Our home is in an area where many sex offenders live. While they live without any harassment, I worry that being on a public information registry always puts a bullseye on the offender and family. All persons, offenders and families, should be able to live without fear of harm once free from prison.

As I posted before the unannounced NARSOL service reset: If this ALI is not outright calling it “Slavery” or ” indentured servitude ” then they are not being honest. Ether free persons are paid to maintain State’s machines or they are not. Obviously some are interested in the latter because of profitability both financial and political.

In reply to Torrey Garrison.

Great Question
The model Penal Code essentially dictates everything about how judges decide crime and punishment. Similar in fact to writers and “the elements of style”. Not every writer follows all grammar laws and has their own style and thus every court does not follow the MPC or every part of it. But its a pretty big deal.
It will take about a mountain of movements to get the entire things settled but what we are likely to see is a registry that is greatly reduced in size and scope and partially or completely private.

So what does this mean, in laymen terms? What’s changing? Is anything changing? Are they being adopted across the board or just certain states?
