Sex Crimes Prevention Act<br />
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act was<br />
enacted on October 28, 2000. The Law requires institutions<br />
of higher education to issue a statement advising<br />
the campus community where law enforcement information<br />
provided by a State concerning registered sex<br />
offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders<br />
already required to register in a State to provide notice<br />
of each institution of higher education in that State at<br />
which the person is employed, carries on a vocation,<br />
or is a student. In the Commonwealth of Virginia convicted<br />
sex offenders must register with the Sex Offender<br />
and Crimes Against Minors Registry maintained by the<br />
Virginia Department of State Police. Information concerning<br />
offenders registered may be disclosed to any<br />
person requesting information on specific individuals<br />
in accordance with the law.
