sex offender registry

A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan says the law unconstitutionally altered rules for defendants after they'd already been sentenced.

The Michigan Supreme Court says the state must stop putting people on the sex-offender registry if their crime was not sexual.

The civil rights group has successfully sued the state over the issue before. Those court decisions forced the state legislature to change some aspects of the law in 2021. But ACLU attorney Miriam Aukerman said the legislature didn’t do enough, and the new law is still unconstitutional.
