Megan's Law was enacted on May 17th, 1996. Megan's Law mandates that every state develop a procedure for notifying residents of registered sex offenders living in their neighborhood. However, each state is different in how they report the information.
One of the important aspects of Megan's Law, is the requirement of convicted sex offenders to notify authorities of their current address. Every time a convicted sexual offender moves they are required to notify the proper authorities of their new address. This allows the public to know where the sexual offenders are living at all times. However, the address requirement is not always permanent and many convicted sex offenders are only required to report their address updates for 10 years.
