SYNOPSIS

• (18-01) The Sex Offender Management Board
was not seated in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the Sex Offender
Management Board Act.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

BOARD NOT STAFFED AS REQUIRED

The Sex Offender Management Board (Board)
was not seated in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the Sex Offender
Management Board Act (Act).

During testing, we noted the following:

• As of June 30, 2018, the terms for 10 of
the Board’s 22 (45%) appointees had
expired.  The terms for these 10 members
expired between January 24, 2017, and June
19, 2018.  Of these 10 positions, 8 are to
be filled with gubernatorial appointees,
and 2 are to be filled with appointees
named by the Attorney General.

• One member appointed to the Board during
the examination period was appointed to a
term of less than five years.  The member
was appointed by the Governor to serve a
term of four years and two months. (Finding
1, page 7)

We recommended the Board continue to
communicate information regarding expired
terms to the parties responsible for making
appointments.

Board officials accepted our recommendation
and indicated they will continue to
communicate with the appointing entities to
ensure member vacancies are filled.
