So, you want to move to a new location, and you are a Missouri registrants convicted of a certain registerable offense? Well, if this idiotic law passes, you'll have to find someone else to drive you around since Missouri wants you to give them your Driver's License first, which they'll hold as collateral until you finish moving.
Well, if don't have friends with Driver's Licenses and you can't afford professional movers, what do you do?
It seems to me those Missouri "My Governor is an Idiot" masks need to add a remark their legislators are, too.

HB 1603 -- ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF SEXUAL OFFENDERS
SPONSOR: Pietzman
This bill repeals language allowing the Parole Board, in appropriate cases determined by a risk assessment, to terminate the supervision of an offender who is being supervised under Section 217.735, RSMo, when the offender is 65 years of age or older.
The bill also specifies that any convicted sexual offender required to register on the Sex Offender Registry who changes his or her residence to a different county or city not within a county and who was convicted of child molestation in the first degree shall be required to deposit his or her driver's license with the chief law enforcement official with whom the person last registered. The license will be returned if the person registers with law enforcement within 3 days. If the person fails to register within three business days with the chief law enforcement official having jurisdiction over the new residence or address, the person will be guilty of the offense of failure to register and a warrant for the person's arrest will be issued, the person's driver's license will be suspended, and the person will be required to be electronically monitored for two years regardless of whether the person is sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The person will be responsible for all costs associated with electronic monitoring.
This bill is similar to HB 142 (2021).
