Karly Rain Wood Act

This bill would create a national registration and notification program in the Department of Justice for people convicted of at least two listed violent offenses, or one listed violent offense and one serious drug offense. These people would have to register where they live, work, and go to school, appear in person every 90 days, report changes within 3 business days, and stay registered for life. States would have to run public registry websites searchable by ZIP code, and the FBI would keep a national registry and website. Officials would send registry information to police, schools, public housing agencies, and others. States that do not substantially carry out the law would lose 10 percent of certain federal justice grant funds, and grants would be offered to help cover costs.
