Title: Supplemental Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification 
Abstract: The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 U.S.C. 16901 et seq., establishes minimum national standards for sex offender registration and notification. The Attorney General issued the National Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification ("SORNA Guidelines" or "Guidelines"), 73 FR 38029 et seq., on July 2, 2008, to provide guidance and assistance to jurisdictions in implementing the SORNA standards in their sex offender registration and notification programs. These supplemental guidelines augment or modify certain features of the SORNA Guidelines in order to make a change required by the KIDS Act, 42 U.S.C. 16915a, and to address other issues arising in jurisdictions' implementation of the SORNA requirements. The matters addressed include certain aspects of public website posting of sex offender information, interjurisdictional tracking and information sharing regarding sex offenders, the review process concerning jurisdictions' SORNA implementation, the classes of sex offenders to be registered by jurisdictions retroactively, and the treatment of Indian tribes newly recognized by the federal government subsequent to the enactment of SORNA.
