TITLE XI - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER EIGHT
SEXUAL OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND NOTIFICATION

Sec. 801-1. Short Title
This Chapter may be cited as the Sac and Fox Nation “Sexual Offender Registration and
Notification Act” (SFN SORNA).

Sec. 801-2. Purpose
In order to protect the Indian and non-Indian public within the Sac and Fox jurisdiction
from sex offenders and offenders against children, and in response to vicious attacks by violent
predators and the historical duty and protection owed to children by the Nation, and in attempting
to comply with the federally enacted Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, the
Sac and Fox Nation hereby establishes a tribal registration system for those offenders that impact
children, adults, health, and peace within the Nation or enter the Nation’s jurisdiction.
The Business Committee finds that sex offenders who commit other predatory acts against
children and persons who prey on others pose a high risk of re-offending after release from
custody. The Business Committee further finds that the privacy interest of persons adjudicated
guilty of these crimes is less important than the Nation's interest in public safety. The Business
Committee additionally finds that a system of registration will permit law enforcement officials to
identify and alert the public, and allow the public to be aware of potential threats, all as necessary
for the public’s safety.
