RM138: SORNA Explained - Registry Matters

Read Transcript of RM138: SORNA Explained

On this week’s episode, we go in depth into SORNA. We tried to cover all of the relevant angles that we could find about SORNA. We had a few listener questions about transferring to a new state, and our position on the registry. Hot take: We’re against it. And then bounce around misc news items that seemed interesting.

Listener questions:
