R105-3-8. Removal of an Offender from the Registry by Passage of Time

  (1) An Offender who believes that he or she qualifies for removal from the Registry due to the passage of time shall provide notice of the same to the Review Officer assigned to that Offender. To facilitate timely removal, such notice should be provided no more than 120 nor less than 60 days prior to the first date on which the Offender is eligible to be removed.

  (2) The Review Officer shall review the notice and determine whether the Offender is eligible to be removed due to the passage of time. The Attorney General's Office may require the Offender to provide additional documentation and information prior to making that determination.

  (3) If the Review Officer determines that the Offender is eligible to have his or her name removed, the Offender's name shall be removed by the Registry Coordinator as part of the next regularly scheduled monthly update of the Registry following the first date on which Review Officer makes that determination.

  (4) If the Review Officer determines that the Offender is not eligible for removal from the Registry due to the passage of time, the Review Officer shall inform the Offender in writing and shall briefly explain the basis for that decision.

  (5) The Review Officer shall decide whether the Offender is eligible for removal from the Registry within 60 days of receiving notice, unless the Review Officer believes that additional time is necessary to investigate, in which case the Review Officer shall provide the Offender with a written explanation of the reason why additional time is necessary and an estimate of the date by which a decision shall be rendered.
