Bill Title: Notice of sex offender intent to move. Requires certain sex or violent offenders to notify law enforcement at least 30 days before establishing a new residence. Requires a local law enforcement authority, not later than 10 days after receipt of the notice, to inform every household within 500 feet of the new residence: (1) that a sex or violent offender intends to move to the area; (2) of the name and new residence address of the sex or violent offender; (3) of the crime committed by the sex or violent offender; and (4) of the Internet address of the Indiana sex and violent offender registry web site. Makes failure to notify law enforcement a Level 6 felony, and increases the penalty to a Level 5 felony if the person has a prior conviction. Provides a defense if the sex or violent offender: (1) was unable to provide notice 30 days in advance because the offender did not know the new address at that time; (2) notifies law enforcement within three days of learning the new address; and (3) otherwise complies with the notice requirement.
