Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act
As a result of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, states are required to provide public access to sex offender information through the internet to help protect children and communities. In Delaware, Title 11, Sections 4120 and 4121 of the Delaware code requires the Delaware State Police to maintain a registry of sex offenders available to the public via the internet. This registry is available to you through the State Bureau of Identification.
With the signing of Senate Bill 66, schools and licensed childcare facilities are no longer required to maintain public sex offender notification binders on site. The requirement has been replaced by the authorized School and Child Care Notification flyer.
