This bill died with 2025 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

799 The following Fiscal Impact Statement and Bill Analysis are prepared for the benefit of the members of the General Assembly, solely for purposes of information, summarization and explanation and do not represent the intent of the General Assembly or either chamber thereof for any purpose.
In general, fiscal impacts are based upon a variety of informational sources, including the analyst’s professional knowledge.
Whenever applicable, agency data is consulted as part of the analysis, however final products do not necessarily reflect an assessment from any specific department.

To create and implement a system allowing registrants to verify their residential address by phone, DESPP will incur a one-time cost of The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts administered by the Comptroller.
The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost associated with most personnel changes is 40.71% of payroll in FY 26.

799 $25,000 to modify their Offender Watch System.
To the extent that registrants begin reporting their address verification by telephone, DESPP may need to hire up to two processing technicians to receive and record such information, resulting in a potential cost to DESPP of $58,500 in FY 26 and $117,000 in FY 27 and a potential cost to the State Comptroller - Fringe Benefits of $22,798 in FY and $45,595 in FY 27.
Equipment costs for these positions are not expected to exceed $5,000 annually.
The FY 26 potential costs reflect the bill's partial-year implementation.
There is a potential savings to DESPP to the extent that telephonic verification will offset current verification processes performed by DESPP employees.
If the bill's provisions affect the state's compliance status with the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), there is a potential revenue loss of federal grants received under such act.
3 The bill also lowers the penalty for a registrant’s unintentional failure to verify their address from a felony to an infraction, which results in potential savings to the Department of Correction and the Judicial Department for incarceration or probation.
On average, the marginal cost to the state for incarcerating an offender for the year is $3,300 while the average marginal cost for supervision in the community is less than $600 each year for adults.
2The annual starting salary for a Processing Technician is estimated to be $56,000.
3In the past eight fiscal years, DESPP has received an average of $142,000 annually in SORNA grants.
4In FY 22 – FY 24, there were 2,600 charges recorded and $8,670 in associated revenue collected under CGS §§ 54-251 through 54-254.
Less than 20 offenders are currently incarcerated under these statutes.
5Inmate marginal cost is based on increased consumables (e.g., food, clothing, water, sewage, living supplies, etc.).
6Probation marginal cost is based on services provided by private providers and only includes costs that increase with each additional participant.
This does not include a cost for additional supervision by a probation officer unless a new offense is anticipated to result in enough additional offenders to require additional probation officers.

799 OLR Bill Analysis SB 1500 AN ACT CONCERNING VERIFICATION OF SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRANTS' ADDRESSES.
SUMMARY Existinglawgenerallyrequiresregisteredsexoffendersto verifytheir residential address every 90 days by returning a form provided by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP).
Principally, this bill:
1.
requires the DESPP commissioner, by January 1, 2026, to create and implement a system allowing registrants to submit this information over the phone instead of by mail, email, or fax;
2.
lowers the penalty for a registrant’s unintentional failure to return the form (or submit the information over the phone), from a felony to an infraction;
3.
extends, from 10 to 20 days, the deadline for registrants to return or submit the form;
and 4.
allows offenders who did not receive the verification form to request it from DESPP, and gives them 20 days to return or submit it.
The bill also makes technical and conforming changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
October 1, 2025 SEX OFFENDER ADDRESS VERIFICATION Under Connecticut’s sex offender registration law, certain offenders must register with DESPP for a specified period, generally starting (1) SB1500 / File No.
799 20 SB1500 File No.
799 when they are released into the community or (2) for people with convictions from other jurisdictions, when they move to the state.
(DESPP can suspend the person’s registration, and corresponding address verification, while a person is incarcerated, under civil commitment, or living in another state.) By law, DESPP verifies the reported in-state residential address of registrants by sending non-forwardable verification forms to the listed address every 90 days.
The bill extends, from 10 to 20 days after DESPP sends the form, the deadline for registrants to return the forms, and specifies that this date is calculated from when the DESPP mailing was postmarked.
The bill also allows registrants who do not receive the DESPP form to request one from the department, and gives them 20 days after it is postmarked to return it.
Current law requires registrants to return the forms by mail, email, or fax.
Starting January 1, 2026, the bill creates a new option by allowing them to submit the information over the phone.
By that date, it requires the DESPP commissioner to create and implement a system allowing registrants to verify their address in this way.
The commissioner must (1)setprotocolsforthesubmissionandrecordingofthisverificationand (2) post on DESPP’s website the phone number for address verification and this system’s operating schedule.
Penalty for Failure to Return or Submit the Form Under current law, failure to return sex offender address verification forms as required is a class D felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.
The bill lowers the penalty to an infraction if the failure to return the form (or submit the information over the phone) within the bill’s 20-day deadline is unintentional.
Infractions are punishable by fines, usually set by Superior Court judges, of between $35 and $90, plus a $20 or $35 surcharge and an additional fee based on the amount of the fine.
The bill also makes it an infraction if a registrant, after not receiving the DESPP form, requests one but then fails to return or submit it within SB1500 / File No.
799 21 SB1500 File No.
799 days.
Under the bill, the intentional failure to submit or return the form continues to be a class D felony.
As under existing law, it is also a class D felony if a registrant fails to notify DESPP about an address change within five business days.
Existing law requires DESPP to notify the local police department or appropriate state police troop if a registrant fails to return the address verification form (or under the bill, submit the form over the phone).
Current law requires the local or state police, in turn, to apply for an arrest warrant.
Corresponding to the penalty changes noted above, the bill instead requires them to apply for an arrest warrant only if there is probable cause to believe that the registrant’s failure to return or submit the form was intentional.
