This law prohibits individuals convicted of offenses requiring sex offender registration at sentencing from receiving an certificate, establishes waiting periods before the Board of Pardons and Parole can consider pardons for registered sex offenders, and authorizes courts to order adult probation and parole supervision for certain class B misdemeanors.
